I am having problems at work because I can't remember things that happened days and months ago, specifics on customers, time it took to accomplish tasks, it's like as soon as it isn't relevant my brain dumps the information. It's become a problem and I am constantly apologizing for my "bad" memory. I'm 23 years old, I shouldn't have this bad of a memory! Are there exercies, supplements or other remedies that are proven to improve memory?

I went through the same thing.  It took me two years go get over my ex which was the hardest thing because he was the love of my life (never felt that way before). I'm sorry to bring it to you, but you will never forget.\n\nEven bad memories you can't forget (a bastard I dated who I do not like to remember at all). I try to forget, you just can't.\n\nThe most that you can do is preoccupy yourself. At first it will be very hard because all you can do is think and be reminded of the things that happened, but TIME (as much I as I hate saying it) will do its thing.\n\nI know this doesn't help much and you're probably not going to listen, but it's the hardcore truth.\n\nSome people like to do dramatic changes in their life and it's something you can try (change the way you look, change your diet, change your routine, etc), but if you don't want change, then TIME again.  Some like to do outrageous things (date a lot of people at once w/o having a care in the world - NOT recommended!, immerse themself in work/school/social world, etc) \n\nBut whatever you do, it'll still be there (even the faintest memory will linger).  Mine still does (both the good & the bad) and after a while you just deal with it.  I even still cry. It has been 3 years now (the love one).\n\nIt's also helpful if you help those who are like you. It's therapeutic rather than talking about your problems if you can relate to other people (***like me!***)

Try Mind Mapping!!!\nWrite all the most important facts that need to be remembered on que cards, study them and then shuffle them and map them back together. That way u will remeber the facts and all the little bits that connect them!!!!!

Bullet points help you to remember and flash cards. Bullet points guide you to remember and flash cards help you to remember the detail. Works everytime!\n\nIf I were you, skip the exam and get a medical excuse. You do not have enough time.

Just sit back a moment...maybe even get up for a few minutes and come back. I think your brain should be rejuvenated now. Come back and focus on the thing you need to get memorized. Say it out loud works for me, along with writing and trying to write from memory. If it's not important to get word for word down, write out what's important.\n\nIt's also helpful to break things down in paragraphs, one point at a time. When one is memorized, move on to the next, and review.

Only way to learn fast is to be cool and composite, plan in well advance, try to discuss with friends and try to create a photographic memory because that lasts longer.  Get some time to relax and take some time off from daily activities.  When you learn try to create some links with that what you want to remember.  Get a sound sleep, worrying about anything makes you more vulnerable of forgetting.

Don't panic..First,let me ask you,how often you experience those leaking of your memory.It's of vital impotrance.It could be related also with your mental stance,the level of stress,etc.If you passed through some very "tough" and harsh occasions they might be the cause of your symptoms.Anyway,dear go ahead and try to find a good neurologist and don't postpone your visit.Be patient and sooner or later everything will come into the proper places!

Isn't it that thing that you remembered first but then you said no not that thing, it's the other thing but it wasn't the other thing, it was the one thing you said you always wanted to remember but keep forgetting. So you tried a new thing to remember this one thing you said you didn't want to forget. So now, do you remember which is the thing since it was the thing you didn't want to forget so you used another things to help remember this thing??\n\n\nOk fine, stop thinking and it will come to you, it normally does.

My fiance and I have found that eating healthy foods before class helps us stay alert. When we eat fast food like McDonald's, we feel sleepy. There are Omega vitamins that are helpful for memory retention as well. If you need a pick me up try Ginseng vitamins. They keep you alert and energized. I would take them at the beginning of the day because they can last quite a while.

as an employee at a drug store, I can tell you that there are many supplements that can be used to improve brain function. One such product is Centrum Performance, a vitamin, which is supposed to "vitalize body and mind." another product is called BrainSpeed (runs about $40 for 60 tablets), obviously directed more for the brain. I personally haven't tried either of these products, nor have I spoken to anyone who has. I have been considering trying Centrum Performance. Anyway, just talk to a doctor or check out your local drug store.

Proper diet and vitamins can help. There are 'natural herbs' also that help. Go to your health food store and ask. (Guta Kola is one, that helps.) \n Find something to do in your spare time to help you relax (meditate, or lay out under the stars (with someone helps me relax), swim, jog, etc.) if you're forgetful due to stress.   Remember that you must take time for you to relax and have fun because if you don't not only will you be forgetful but also you will become depressed.\n  As for smartness, I'm sure you are already but the forgetfulness is making you doubt yourself. But reading and requoting what you've read will help you strenghten your memory. Remember, our memory is the first to go under stress.Good Luck.

smile. Im with you on this one. My mind is slowing down. I always thought I was fine. Never got depressed like my other friends but yes, the minds slowing down. Is concentration a huge prob as well?....the best thing I do is eat lots of fresh foods everyday, keep up your daily vitamin intake as well. Water is very underated and should be drunk in masses! There is a herbal drug out there called H2JK (or something like that - someone help us here) but it helps with the memory. Admittingly im very smart witted, its just Im starting to forget things....best of luck and lets see how you go :-)

What is making it so hard to concentrate? Is everything OK?\nKnow this for yourself. If there's nothing majorly wrong, try an organizer from Walmart or the drugstore, or index cards with tasks and reminders that you print on them. Dollar stores carry these-and organizers sometimes.\nBe patient with yourself when you make mistakes and find healthy ways of dealing with stress.\nTake care, Buttercup

The brain is like a muscle. If you don’t use it, it will atrophy. “Use it or lose it” The most important first step is to maintain overall good health.smoking, and high cholesterol, threaten brain blood vessels as well. Ensure  that you get adequate vitamins and minerals to preserve overall brain function. This means a diet low enough in calories to maintain your ideal body weight, which includes low fat (<60 gm. per day, <20 gm. saturated fat), 2-4 servings of fruit, 3-5 servings of vegetables, 6 servings of bread or grain, and 3 servings of dairy per day, fish twice a week, and red meat limited to once a week. \n“Brain push-ups” like crossword puzzles and other mental challenges are excellent. Entirely new activities are particularly stimulating, like taking up a new musical instrument, engaging in an art activity you’ve never tried before, or learning a new language. Albert Einstein took up the violin late in life, and Winston Churchill took up painting. So, go ahead, be adventurous! Do something you’ve always wanted to do but have never taken the time for. You have nothing to lose, and only pleasure, increased social interactions, a renewed sense of achievement, and better brain function to gain.Smoking contributes to blood vessel damage in the brain,this indirectly affects ur memory .

I've been accused of having "selective amnesia". I've forgotten by whom. But given what I know of amnesia, some people remember some things and not others. Some people remember nothing at all. So ... The correct answer to your question, given amnesia and the way it works with various people, would be ... Yes & No. And I'll trust that we all remember that fact in the future. lol ;-) ~ Peace & Blessings ~
