Memory

[Sue]

I can't remember anything.

Should I be worried?

[katie1997]

Dunno Sue - depends what it is and how much it affects your life.

If its just things like going into a shop and completely forgetting what you went in for...I'd say that's pretty common (for me anyway).

[Sue]

At the moment, it's - Oh, I thought I had a rather nice and rather expensive vase on that table.

Oh, duh, I have a vague memory of it getting broken sometime around Christmas.

Can I remember how, when and where it might have got broken? No.

Can I remember dreams I had when I was about four years old? Yes.

AAARRRGGGHHHH :))

The fact it happened mes christmas does rather suggest one real ale too many. My short term memory is shocking, but that is totally my fault. Have a very good long term memory though.

[daizie]

No you should'nt. It's a positive thing. Think of all that crap you might be forgetting :))

[KidKruger]

Sue don't forget you still owe me that ?20 from the one day festival up at the Marmora Golf club.

Remember ?

[siousxiesue]

I walked downstairs with a loo roll in my hand the other day...no idea why...

Senior moment?

[Sue]

Very long moment then cos I still can't remember how it got broken though I have a vague memory that it did.

It was a very large and heavy glass vase, breaking it would surely have been memorable,but clearly not :))

[computedshorty]

Sue. I dont think that you have forgoten anything, as your message is perfect.

I have a long memory of times long ago but not a lot of what is now happening.

My own theory is that your mind can only store so much over the years it has taken up most of the space available, so things that do not matter do not get stored.

If you get up in the morning get dressed and make a cup of tea, then you have a memory.

The Vase? Look under the bed now you remember why and where it went.

[Tarot]

Usually if you have slips of memory.it is because subconsciously you are stressing about something that is playimg on

your brain.

Dont think you are losing it ,just take a break from things,maybe a change of scenery empty your mind dont take anything you may think will help you to relax,they are only temporary mental crutches.

Instead go for a walk in a park or similar and relax naturally.

Time marches on and your problem will pass.

Just get some "me"time and dont worry about wild imaginings.

As Hugonot says"Breathe and relax".

I think Compputedshorty may be onto something there. My short term memory is absolutely shot to pieces but somehow my long term memory is fully intact. Old friends of mine are often amazed at the things I remember from decades ago and in detail too. Weirdly frustrating and at times very annoying.

[Keef]

I'm with you Jah, but it's something you've done to yourself I'm afraid (as have I) :)-D

And now we're all going to be trees, with our branches waving slowly in the wind. So put your arms up in the air, and when the music starts ...

[computedshorty]

Sue. Here is a test. Sing the words to Fidlers Dram a Day trip to Bangor.

The clean version.

[Sue]

My daughter used to sing this in the car when she was about three.

Her version was "And on the way back we curried Jack and opened a bottle of cider".

:))

ETA: I didn't even know there was a dirty version :)) or maybe I have forgotten it .....

[computedshorty]

Fidlers Dram a Day trip to Bangor

Chorus:

Didn't we have a lovely time

The day we went to Bangor

A beautiful day, we had lunch on the way

And all for under a pound, you know

That on the way back I cuddled with Jack

And we opened a bottle of cider

Singing a few of our favourite songs

As the wheels went around
