SegFault:

What do you say about someone who easily forgets things, has inadequate connection of thoughts, an issue of compulsive overeating and anger issues?
Depression comes to mind, google the symptoms of both depression & bipolar depression. See which you can relate with more.I think the person should see a mental health practitioner such as a psychiatrist. Start by visiting a reputable hospital. A doctor may then refer you to a Psychiatrist.Mental illnesses may have some similarities but it’s up to a doctor to make a diagnosis.

AdamsAbubakar, it seems you are an INFP, according to Myer-Briggs Personality Types.
You can do more research about this.

I tend to forget where I keep my stuff easily, and it's really annoying. I may do something right now and forget it seconds later. Ironically, I remember things like names of people, what people said and the faces of people easily and accurately. I can still remember the surnames and names of my ex-classmates in secondary school perfectly, and the names and surnames of 202 people in my class at the University level.

My forgetfulness, however, petrifies me a lot as I'm 22 years old. What could be wrong? Should I be worried or it's normal at such an age?

Mods please help me push it to the FP let me get replies from the good people of NL. smiley

Same thing applies to me.
I have a problem remembering people's names...even names told less than 5 mins ago.
But I can remember longtime events.
Sometimes I try to remind my sisters an things that we used to do when we were kids... primary school then but I only seem to be the only one remembering those things...makes me feel as if it was a dream but it was real.
There was a girl I used to hangout with during Predegree Remedial in Unical, after about 5 years...just 5 years...I was telling her the particular food she used to eat and where we used to buy it, she surprisingly denied it...I couldn't believe it but she agreed to other things I said including some of her friends and classmates that I described. Although she was baffled that I could remember them all.

What I do now is to repeat people's name whenever I'm talking to them. That way I won't forget.

I'm in the same boat with you OP.
As a kid, I can never forget where I keep my things as I easily replay it like a video in my head.
I topped my class all through secondary school although I seem to forget little details that made my classmates then wonder how I managed to top them in class if I can't recall some little events.


It worsened in the university, On a particular night, I went to the hostel toilet with my lamp and forgot it there after using the toilet. On getting to the room, I remembered that I had left my lamp there so I took my roommates lamp to aid me see so I could pick up my lamp.

Reaching the toilet, I forgot what I came to do and ended up leaving my roommate's lamp there too! . On entering the room, friends that were together in the room asked where the lamp was. That was when It struck me that I left 2 lamps in the toilet with a period of about 10-15 mins. They were amazed, laughed and we joked about it.


Also, there was a time( I think in my year 2 or 3) I was completely blank for about 20 minutes in an examination hall yes 20 mins! I couldn't write anything. It wasn't due to fear, I completely forgot.
I graduated without having a single carryover.


At a time I thought it must be a spiritual attack.

I'm seriously interested in knowing what could have caused this kind of condition really.

am suffering from this too, I don't know what it is, could it be a spiritual attack?
I forget easily. Sometimes I even forget how to speak and construct correct sentences

I think this is called antero-grade amnesia and it has to do with short term memory ie. you forget things that happened in your immediate past but remember things that happened a long time ago. I think the best you can do is to pay more attention to details, be more conscious of whatever you do. This helps to reinforce your short term memory. The opposite is retrograde amnesia, where you forget things in the distant past but remember everything that happened a few weeks ago down to the smallest details.

If you can remember names of people, past events clearly, you certainly have no problem.

When you want to keep things, focus. We remember things we want to.... Make sure you're not holding a conversation or be thinking of other things. If your attention is divided, you can't focus and you will certainly not remember some simple stuffs...

Put your mind together always... Thank me later grin

You are simply a Melancholic temperament. We both have the same issue, its natural but the price to pay for being intelligence because our mind is always occupied with thoughts and feelings which is too deep for the outside world to understand. Even Bill Gate said he has the same issue. We also both Introverts, so just relax.

The matter is a serious one.
Funny thing is when I tell people my condition they'll just laugh it off like a joke and say that it's a normal thing.
I sleep well, eat well and drink a lot of water.
I just wonder

I also sleep without being aware of my environment, as in very deep sleep ,could the two be related?

You are not sick brother. The simple solution is your hand. Avoid and change any thing or person or circumstances that triggers it like;

worries, anxiety, emotional detachment, lack of focus or passion or interest, inability to connect with people of higher intelligence (IQ) to keep your brain and memory healthy, functioning, and intact, depression, joblessness, idleness, laziness, longtime stagnation, toxic environment, troubled atmospheric settings, oppression from the family, friends, and society, etc..

You need to challenge yourself and you will overcome. No medication and other prescriptions can cure it, but yourself..

Mine’s even worst

I don’t remember anything from my childhood, about a year ago I realize that I am becoming seriously forgetful. All of a sudden all the lyrics I knew I didn’t know again. This is how I knew this is no longer a joke
I write down everything.. my phone is filled with notes

But
I do well in school
I remember names too
At a time I remembered more than 50 names while working at the gym last year
Yesterday I was singing and all of a sudden I was singing the lyrics right.. I was even startled

I believe mine’s repression
As a child it was my defence mechanism
I believe I repressed so much that I can’t remember anything from my childhood
I think it’s affecting me now
Thankfully it’s getting better although am still gonna see a doctor
I saw a counsellor who confirmed this
