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. |
Do not worry about it, we all forgetting things, some time I forget what is my wife telling me. Shortly I start my detailed to do list, and put everything there, so some time even getting surprised by my self what a new thing should I do
Believe that brain can be trianed, if you start going deeper in to interested for you field, you probably start remember more, also heared that rhymes can help to increase capacity of memory. Wish you the best!
