Since /sci/ sort of doubles as a psychology board as well, I figured I'd ask this here:

Im 24 and I forget almost everything, its been this way for most of my life. I remember elementary school well, but memory of anything after than is either nonexistant or foggy as hell. Even things as recent as 1-2 weeks ago, I have no memory of. The things I do remember have no time attached to them. Was it a month ago or half a year ago? Was it six years ago or two? A couple days or a couple weeks?

I forget almost everything about any book I read, movie I watch, game I play. I dont remember anything or anything from highschool, or from any of the jobs I've had. I can perfectly remember classmates, friends, and teachers from elementary though--I can even tell you all of their first and last names. It's like my mind is stuck as a little kid and anything after just leaks through a memory sieve.

As a kid I was molested a few times by different people. Dissociative amnesia sort of fits the bill, only its in reverse. I remember the incidents and the time period around them, but memory of everything else is what gets locked up.

You may want >>>/adv/ or >>>/diy/ desu
If you're willing to try anything, lay off milk and derivates for a week, take zinc supplements and eat a banana every day
if things don't get better from there, though luck, see a specialist about it
If they do, still seek a specialist, as the problem these things fix is WAY worse

Writing a diary will have two benefits. 1. Memory is really a skill you can train and looking back on the day that was will help. 2. In case it doesn't at least you'll have it written down.
