Pls Advice! My Brain Might Be Malfunctioning by Dropme: 5:58pm On Nov 03, 2021
Good afternoon y'all

Please I need urgent solutions or rather advice because I'm getting scared.

I recently noticed I easily forget things, like sometimes when in afternoon I just suddenly remember I have not eaten breakfast, then I start to doubt if I have eaten or not, to the extent that I don't even remember what I ate.

Also when I see calls, I always try to recall who is d person calling me despite seeing the name, infact most of my contacts I don't remember some of them when going through it, it takes time before I remember.

Also I forget days of the week, like I'm talking about when i sleep on Sunday and i wake up the next day, I totally forget which day it is, I will need to ask people around or I take my time before I gain my senses.

Sometimes also, I miss important appointments because I totally forget them, infact if I'm called to be reminded I will still think deeply before I can recollect.

Sometimes, I even forget I have a kid, not until he shows up beside me. There was a particular day I forgot to pick him up at school, it was his teacher who brought him home around 6:30 in d evening, it was until then I remembered I have a son. And it's not once but uncountable times.

And even many more issues like that, that I can't even remember presently.

These things are affecting me already, I feel it's not ordinary. I need a solution before I forget something that will destroy me totally.

Please note that, this things started happening few months ago, I was thinking maybe it's because I'm always in deep thought about lot of things or what could easily cause it and how can I treat it?

Please I need ur inputs.

These might be signs of amnesia or even early signs of dementia, but you need to speak to a professional as soon as possible. Early detection can help with management of the illness if any

Those are signs of ADHD, (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) a mental disorder. You need to see a psychiatrist.

Some people start to manifest the symptoms from childhood while some Kickstart in adulthood. which seems to be your case.

Please do see a specialist as soon as possible before it degenerates or cost you something very important.

Also, check to be sure you're not having depression.

It's no worse than what some sufferers of the disorder are having. I once watched a guy give account of his challenges with this disorder and his symptoms are exactly the same symptoms the OP mentioned.

There are categories and levels of this disorder and I've researched on virtually all of them.

He's suffering from ADHD but a different type.

Maybe his description is what is throwing me off cause it almost reads like he is saying he's experiencing actual memory problems rather than loss of focus/absent-mindedness undecided

Well, that's one of the syptoms of a particular type of the disorder. If it was memory loss ish, then he won't be able to recognize his son or some of the things he seems to forget ever again. But in his case, hes still able to recollect after tasking his brain.

You can still suffer memory loss and still recognize your kids - short-term memory loss for example. undecided

Hm.. I don't know about short or long term memory loss. What I know is, memory loss is memory loss. The only place I've seen people regain their lost memories is in movies.

I once worked with a guy, my chairman's son who lost his memory in a fatal accident he had abroad. He couldn't remember anyone. He had to be constantly reminded that these are his parents or siblings. His girlfriend left because he didn't recognize her any longer.

12 years after the accident was when I met and worked with him. Even ats at then, it was still affecting him. Everyday, I have to remind him this was the clothe he wore yesterday and he'll be like I'll change it tomorrow.

He may be eating and suddenly called to the chairmans office. He'll cover the food and keep somewhere. If I was there when he kept the food, I'll be the one to remind him to continue with his food otherwise, that food will rot there. And when you ask, he'll be like, I'm not the one. Hmm..

This was a once brilliant American big boy the father trained abroad. Came out with distinctions and was living large abroad before the accident.
Now, you have to teach him stuff like a baby. He doesn't even know how much he has in his account anymore.

His wicked elder brother who used to bow to him was now taking advantage of this guys condition. When they pay him, the elder brother will borrow his salary and never pay back and this guy won't even remember to ask.

It continued like that until his immediate elder brother noticed he hardly buys some basic things for himself or changed his old clothes and began to ask what he does with money. Then they discovered the eldest brother has been the one collecting his salary but it never reflected in his account. It was then he confessed that he borrowed it and was going to pay back. Lies!

The immediate brother was like Waaat.. ?? three months salary?? Come and see drama in the office that day. Hmm..

They had to restructure the system of payment so his salary gets to him directly.

Abeg, ops case is different.

Poor guy! undecided

There is short-term and long-term memory loss, and those in-between. Short term could happen in cases of depression or anxiety, among other health issues. Patients with this problem tend to forget only happened recently or moments earlier. undecided

It could be an early sign of Alzheimer's disease.... Just google it

Early signs:
<<<Losing things often
<<<Forgetting to go to important events or appointments
<<<Having more trouble coming up with desired words than other people of the same age

Signs that it might be time to talk to a doctor include:

<<<Asking the same questions over and over again
<<<Getting lost in places a person knows well
<<<Having trouble following directions
<<<Becoming more confused about time, people, and places
<<<Not taking care of oneself —eating poorly, not bathing, or behaving unsafely
