this is really weird.
i can't remember anything anymore, i feel like im about 80 and going senile.
people say to me "do you remember that time..." and im like no, that never happened! and theyre like, yes it did whats wrong with you?!?!
it's got me really worried now, i don't do drugs and i only drink alcohol occasionally. does ne1 have ne ideas, and what i can do about it?
There's a girl in my mirror
I wonder who she is
Sometimes I think I know her
Sometimes I really wish I did <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/smilie/flowerface.gif">

Tricky one this, I know my memory's degraded quite a lot, especially for the periods from when I was 14-15 and also 18-20, large sections of my life seem to have disappeared.
On the other hand I've got the excuse of having huge amounts of drugs during those times, but I wish I could remember more.
My housemate's memory is amazing, he can remember precise dates and times of the most obscure events, but he does even more drugs than I do.
Some answers can be found in Neurobiology, the memory commital, storage and recall functions of the brain are still relatively unknown. What is known is that the brain restructures itself on a fairly regular basis, including (presumably) those memories already commited. Because no process is perfect some data must be lost each time, and that which is least used is most likely, but this is all conjecture really.
Memory, fascinating ideas and concepts, if only I could remember them.......
....any Neurobiologists out there??
Only users lose drugs
Dont know the medical backgrounding to that though <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">

anyway if there is something you really need to remember try telling yourself it over & over again & gradually it will stick in there somewhere.
good luck
