Am on that table now, and am afraid its a spiritual attack.
I also sleep without being aware of my environment, as in very deep sleep ,could the two be related?

It’s not spiritual anything.
I sleep deeply too when my mind is free
When I wanna wake at a certain time
I wake at that time aswell because I tell my mind that I wanna wake at that time
For a long time I never used alarm. Still I am deep sleeper

I am your opposite.

I forget names of some people I met 5mins ago, I don't recognize some faces who introduced themselves 5 times. If 5 people introduced themselves, I will forget the names of atleast 2 by the yime they finished. For me, out of sight is out of mind.

I was shocked when a federal government director recognized me in church, called my name when the last time he saw me, I was in primary school like over 20yrs ago. Our next meeting in church, he called my name before i knew who he was. Imagine how embarrassing it is. This kind of thing happens too often that I appear to them as snubbing or dumb. For me, out of sight is out of mind.

On the other hand, if i parked my car for a year, I will know if it moved an inch. I arrange my things orderly and can remember the order i kept them. You will see me moving the center rug everyday because someone swept the sitting room but didn't adjust its position very well.

If I dropped a stained shirt in the laundry basket, I will not forget I have a stain on such a shirt.

I feel the same way you do and wish I could help.


How do you feel when you can't find what you kept? I know for someone like you it could be so frustrating. Almost unforgivable when you learn that it was moved by someone else without your knowledge or permission. That is how it feels. Am I wrong cheesy cheesy

Quit masturbation
What exactly does masturbation have to do with retention of memory and who established that fact?

Could be partial dementia issue here.
Try always and Everytime to rest your system by way of sleeping and napping when necessary.

My grandma case was too pathetic, she will be holding a kitchen knife and still be looking for it.

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.

I don’t remember anything I don’t wanna remember.
What do you call this?

For example when am hurt. Really hurt.
I stopped remembering it. And that’s that.
I forget it completely

You need to train your mind on it
I know for a FACT it is not spiritual
I can sleep 8hours without waking not even to pee
But when I have something important at a certain time
I must wake up at that time

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.
An introvert too
but its embarrasing, especially wen am being reminded of things by my subordinates at work.

Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder

Yes that is what I strongly suspect. Worry less about it. But do this:

1) Discipline yourself to always take enough rest.

2) Don't play with your sleep. Sleep when it comes, don't try to deprive yourself of sleep.

3) If you are too concerned, see a psychiatrist. But be very careful if you choose to take prescription drugs.

4) Take to mind that there is a genetic dimension to your condition, and be happy with your strengths, but worry less about your weaknesses, such as this one.

Have you ever left your house to see a close friend and on getting to his door he was not around, and his neighbour asks you "who are you looking for?", and you can't tell, because you have forgotten his name? Some people live with that condition, but hey, they are excellent in other ways. Such is this present life, it is one defect or the other cheesy

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

I think its caused by lack of concentration

Learn to be committed to every thing you do and take note of what you do

Be more serious in life and stop behaving as if life us simple

Learn to take responsibility for somethings within you

Meanwhile remember where you keep your certificates and use that to remember where you place your things

You could remember names of your secondary school classmates but can't remember something U did just a while ago. I think it's " LONG MEMORINESS " sickness.

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.

You're suffering from attention deficiency syndrome.
It's called ADHD for short. You're not remembering because you do things on impulse, without thinking. You're hyper, always full of activity. It's not your fault but caused by some chemical imbalances in your brain and you're not alone , many have it undiagnosed .
Don't think it's ADHD. The symptoms are not too similar. He needs to see a neurologist. This may be the onset of Dementia. There are rare cases of early onset. Or it may just be a general issue of stress. He needs to learn how to Defrag his brain. May GOD help him

If you eat a lot of Nigerian brown or white beans you better abstain because the unregulated toxic pesticides content that unregulated farmers use to kill weevils could be detrimental to the brain.

And if you smoke the synthetic igbos (ganja) that are prevalent in Nigeria at the moment, stay off it. They can cause irreversible damages to the brain and mental well-being in general.
