You may need counseling to get over this.  When you think about a bad memory, it just makes it new again.  It sometimes hard to get over things like this without help.  good luck

#1.Tho' scientists don't know why, gingko biloba supplement does seem to help, it was observable in Alzheimer's patients. \n#2. Solving puzzles like crosswords and anagrams daily keeps the brain active and stimulated, an important part of the memory remaining functional.\n#3. Tests have shown that a moderate amount of exercise, like walking, daily has a very beneficial effect on memory.\n#4. Use your brain and your memory actively, as much as you can on a daily basis. This really is a case of use it or lose it.\n\nFinally #5. Try to avoid damaging your hippocampus, the part of your brain where memories are mostly made

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.

From past experience I could tell you that keeping oneself busy by reading, writing,drawing or any other hobby can indeed take ones head off whatever it is that we want to forget. But the important think to remember here that thinking back to the situation or the experience is not all wrong, it's okay to reminisce on whatever it is that is bothering us and learn from the past so as not to repeat it in the future. If we try too hard not to think of a certain situation we will end up doing nothing but!

Memory is linked to emotional/personal value (think about your clearest memories...usually there's intense sensory or emotional stuff going along with it). Depending on what you want the student to remember, bringing in music, dance, games such as hand clapping patterns, etc. all can help tremendously. Repetition is a big key, too, for fact recall, so drill, drill, drill!

Brilliant question!\n\nI was just talking about this with a friend. You have to savor the experience! Ok bear with me here......\n\nHow many times have you looked forward to something...prepared for a big day? Trained for that marathon? Practiced non stop for the big game? Prepared for that huge presentation at work? Readied yourself for the trip overseas? \n\nWhen it is all over.....why do you remember it???? Why is the memory even there? Because of the process we went through to get to that experience will always be instilled in our head. \n\nBut even the memory is not as important as the PROCESS in getting there. Forming the initial idea. Watching it grow from a seed planted in your head to a bud as it starts to thrive and build. Taking that idea and making it real. Attacking the necessary steps to make it happen. Knowing you are aware of those elements around you that are affected and dealing with each and ever obstacle one by one and you encounter it. Taking the leap.....going for it. Not looking back.....forgin onward. So you either fail or succeed. And at times you are lucky enough to feel a bit of both. Lucky you say? You bet!! Because look what happens......you experienced it and learned and then VOILA......the memory enters the picture. \n\nThe memory is the reminder of what success we can draw upon in the future and what failures we must learn from in our past.  Both are important.......But the experience creates the memory. You must have the knowledge, before having the foresight.

well see the doctor but let me tell you the best thing you can do before hand and keep your memory in good shape buy a small notebook and keep an organizer in your purse and every time you have something in mind write it down, that way you wont forget and you keep your brain focused at all time, I already know that if you go to the doc they are going to give you pills and junk to make you think its going to work think about it, your 21 and your to young to have a problem I think you are not focusing on things, the notebook will refresh your brain and memory and after some time you will train your self to remember just give it time and don't forget to write your what to do list everyday, and little things like what people have said to you for your personal reference........ belive me Ive tried it and it works ............Dont stress out to much .........

The problem is that you are trying to remember too much at one time.\nBreak down the main points in point form.  I always liked to condense \nthings down to just a few words, then you can memorize them much\neasier.  After you do that, you can take the first letter of each item and\nmake an anagram of it.  I would also write the words down several times.\nSomehow it would make a better impression in my brain if I did that.  I\nswear sometimes I could actually see that writing in my brain when I\nhad to recall it.  Try it.  Good luck.

If you want to train your memory you can use things like peg words and word association in a manner that your memory is forced to work.  There is NOT enough room here to offer everything but I have a memory course which I bought a long time ago that teaches you how to associate things in a funny or violent or zany or sexual manner to remember them.  The theory behind this is that this is what the mind seems to keep as the deepest or most intense of memories.  Also, using sounds to match the numbers 0 to 9 can allow you to remember things like dates and lists and so on.  ONCE you do these training excersises you not only have a few good memory techniques, but your mind actually improves as per its memory because you are "using it" or "excercizing" it. Incidently, if you are wondering about Ginko Biloba or other herbs, there is little evidence to show that this helps the mind - and it is expensive.  If it were cheap, I would say go for it.  Apparently eating fish helps because of the vitamin and mineral and fatty acids in fish.  You should look up health FOOD and MEMORY to see what FOOD (not supplements so to speak) helps keep the brain or mind healthy.

I too, have a difficult time with retaining information, but I found the easiest way for me to keep anything in memory is to write out the answers to questions as I read them...that and a good night's sleep are very helpful to me, I hope they will help you as well.

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.

Sounds like you have a horrific childhood past and it's blocked. Did you know if a parent does something wrong the child represses these memories the most. I don't know what it is or who did what but sit a think as far back as you can. Writing is especially good when your in these kind of moods. I MYSELF FIND THAT i write stuff I had forgot about.

Try to do something that will distract you, like watching TV, or reading a book. I find it really hard to forget things that bother me so I try to keep myself busy in order to forget. Or you can think about what bothers you and try to resolve it and make peace with it.
