My grandma always used to say if you dont remember what it was you were thinking it must have been a lie...\n\nBut honestly truth is you probably either have too many other things on your mind,stress,or lack of sleep.

I didn't used to be like that, but lately I have been having a similar experience.  I think, for me at least, its because my life is going through a lot of changes, and I'm experiencing a lot of stress due to that.  I think its my mind's way of playing out my fears, since they are constantly on my mind.  I would suggest you try a cup of chamomille tea before you go to bed; it works wonders for me.

It's important to remember the pressing things in life, as well as the beautiful moments of the past. Here are a few simple methods which you can use to improve your memory.\n\n\n1. Put black ink at the end of your palm to remember any important thing for the next day or for that day itself. Whenever you see the black dot, you'll remember what to do.\n2. Visualize whatever you have to do as part of something you see every day. For example, if you have to give your dog some medicine, visualize your dog in your fridge every time you walk past it or look inside. This will keep your dog fresh in your mind.\n3. Write the event or task down immedietely. If you don't have a pen, one thing you can do is change the time on your watch; later on you will remember why it is set at the wrong time.\n4. Write in a diary or journal every day without fail. Even small issues should be written down -- this is a good way to make sure you don't miss anything.\n5. Leave yourself a telephone message reminding yourself of important "to do" tasks.

Apart from the death of my father, I can't remember an occasion when things have gone downhill and I wasn't in some way responsible for it, either directly or through inaction.\n\nSo I agree, we have a lot to do with our own life situations.

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!***)

A LITTLE EACH DAY INSTEAD OF CRAMMING THE NIGHT BEFORE.  TRY REVIEWING EACH TIME WHAT YOU READ THE DAY BEFORE TOO.  REPITITION HELPS.  ALSO, TRY WRITING IMPORTANT FACTS A COUPLE OF TIMES.  WRITING SEEMS TO KEEP INFORMATION IN YOUR HEAD LONGER.

It is easy to forget a name, an appointment, or the location of an item. This type of forgetfulness happens in normal persons. Common causes of this kind of memory loss include:\n\n* loss of concentration\n* stress\n* lack of sleep\n* low blood sugar\n* alcohol or drug use\n* side effects of medications or\n* an under-active thyroid gland\n\nA sudden memory loss or forgetting of past events is called acute memory loss. This can be more serious and may be caused by:\n\n* head injury\n* infection such as meningitis\n* long-lasting or repeating illness\n* a change in blood flow to the brain and\n* epilepsy\n\nMemory may or may not return to normal after these conditions are corrected. \n\nA slow and longer lasting change in memory is called chronic memory loss. It can be permanent. Causes for this are:\n\n* diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and AIDS\n* stroke or diabetes-related nerve damage and\n* mental illness such as depression\n\nKeep the mind active by reading, studying, working, or similar activities. This can improve concentration. Anyone with sudden, constant, or increasing memory loss needs medical evaluation.

If you are speaking about actual "gaps" where you cannot remember things from a point in time, or you suddenly are somewhere and cannot remember how you got there, you need to speak to a professional counselor, especially if under the age of 40.\n\nIf you are talking about gaps in early childhood, that could be "normal" for you, depends on if it is truly gaps or no memories before age 3 or 4.\n\nIf you are talking about over age 40 and symptomology similar to more forgetfulness, then you need a medical doctor. \n\nThere are many reasons and causes for this.

Devastating! My mum has it & cannot remember what sentence she has started to finish it! She's only had it a few years but she can't remember names - even mine sometimes. Distant memories can be good at times but it's the more recent that is very poor. It leaves them devoid of functioning memories in the end - like how to deal with day to day living. Very sad,.

I'm not a guy and I don't have ADD.  What I do have is huge case of forgetfullness.  I have to be reminded of things two, three, sometimes four or five times.  There's nothing wrong with me.  In fact, my long term memory is better than most.  But my short term memory absolutely sucks.  The people in my life find it annoying, heck, so do I, but they love me so they deal with it.  And, contrary to some opinions, a lack of remembering things does not constitute a lack of caring about things.
