 Losing desire to learn because of memory
I have generally enjoyed learning and growing in knowledge. However, for years now, I have noticed that my long term memory is deficient. It's so consistent that I have lost a lot of my desire to learn because I know I will not remember it in a week.
For example, I took 1 year of stats and I couldn't tell you the definition of standard deviation. I forget many of the common clauses in grammar. I have forgotten so much of all the things I have learned that I don't feel like even trying.
Even studying subjects that I enjoy...football and animals...I cannot remember how much a male polar bear weighs although I have read it so many times.
anyone else have this problem? It's very frustrating to me because I feel I would be pretty intelligent if only I had my memory. I struggled with severe depression for years (I am 24 years old) and I have read online that it can interfere with one's memory.
Thoughts appreciated.
