Why do I have a terrible memory..?

So my earliest memory was when I was 8 years old.. My parents said that my family and I went on a big trip when I was 7, and I don’t remember a thing.. And now, the memories are getting more faint. I had a conversation with someone, and I don’t remember most of it. And then I would write a poem, have it in my journal, about two weeks later I could look through it and not even remember writing it. Or I can barely remember last week and what I did. What’s happening? I don’t get any headaches, I also didn’t have a head injury either.. Is this normal?

lmao!!! I can tottaly relate!! I’m starting to become like that too!! and I’m just assuming it’s perhaps cause you’re a busy person, if you’re always occupied and perhaps stressed… you tend to forget things, cause they just don’t occur to mind so often that you remember them.

Answer #2

Well, some people do have poor memories, but that does seem a little extreme.

Are you eating properly? Lack of certain vitamins and minerals can cause short term memory loss.

Answer #3

actually yeah, I thought it was because of low blood pressure or something..?
