Unable to remember driving me crazy.
Hi sorry first of all of this is the wrong. Area to post it but I need to vent and maybe get some idea/help on what to do to fix this issue.. or if someone feels the same way? Im just afraid of being alone with this issue.
For about a 5-6 months maybe I been failing to remember anything I read/watched or played. Even when I know I enjoyed what I did. I just can’t remember the details at all. And I get nervous over this because I know other people remember all of that.
like I played this game recently I enjoyed the characters but I can’t remember a thing about the plot or the character I really like. And it drives me to panic abit. Or I just watched a tv show and forgot a major plot points even though I just watched it 2 days ago.
I don’t know what to do about this and it’s causing me to panic.
Im not sure if It’s the lack of sleep or adhd (undiagnosed, but my mother has it)
Heyy @Forestryheart ... How are you doing?
First of all, don’t worry, this is exactly the right place to vent🤍^-^
What you're describing sounds a little scary, and I can hear the panic in your words, honestly. Memory stuff like that can feel unsettling, especially when you know you enjoyed something but can’t remember the details afterward.
But it’s also true that many times we tend to remember the emotions we felt more than the specific details of why we felt them. So moments like this can happen.
And as you mentioned, lack of sleep can be a big factor when it comes to memory. So if you’d like, you could try paying attention to your sleep for a week or so and see if that makes any difference.

I know how u feeling, as I forget details too. Ppl say we remember what we enjoy but I forget movies, tv shows, books, video clips or games too. It's so weird I even forget names of ppl I meet daily, sometimes it's very awkward/embarrassing. But glad to hear that theirs other ppl to like me 😃. I've suffered too bcz of it irl, but ve accepted the truth now
