 Aloofness! (and awful memory)
A friend likes to joke around with me that I have Alzheimer's at age 20. So, I was telling another friend about the joke via instant message while at the same time I had left a sheet of cookies in the oven for over two hours. In fact, literally, about 9 times out of 10, I'll forget that I'm cooking something entirely. I have to write everything that I want to accomplish down, and even then I usually forget about it. My episodic/emotional memory is absolutely awful too, but my memory of facts/logic is in tact. I try to do puzzles and use software thats supposed to help with memory but it's soooo boringgg and the results have been far from phenomenal.
My family has a really, really, really bad history of stimulant addiction, and I've tried those too (prescribed by a doctor, not recreational). Horrid anxiety and no real help.
I know ginkgo helps, and fish oil. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Not necessary just supplements either, if there's anything you've done that helps with awareness/memory (not necessarily concentration, more like general awareness/awareness of your surroundings/remembering your goals), I'd like to hear it.
