Recently, my life feels like a blur, like I dont really remember what happened even in the past 2 weeks, and this has cause me some anxiety.
I just want to know if this is what everyone’s memory is like.
How much of your life do you remember, like do you only remember major events in your life, or do you remember like what you have been doing for the past 2 weeks.
What I mean is like, if someone asked you “So, what have you been last week”
You can come up with an answer like:
“So I watched [X] movie on Netflix on Monday, went to a nearby park on Tuesday, ate at [X] restaurant on Wednesday, found a new interesting Youtube Channel to watch on Thursday, petted a friendly neighborhood cat on Friday…” etc…
And like you can still remember what happened that week the following Monday.
Like obviously most people wouldn’t remember what they ate every meal, but like just one major event that happened each day.
I feel like I don’t remember shit. Not a single event.
I have very few memories unless something triggers them. I was worried about this so some years ago I started writing down what I did that day, every day, in the hope I would train my memory to remember things.
I make a new text file each day with the date and have about 6 years’ worth of them.
In case you’re wondering, my memory didn’t get any better but at least I can look up what I did if I forget. No joke this comes in handy more than you’d think.
BTW my armchair diagnosis is that my lack of memory is probably ADHD related.
