My memory is terrible, I forget everything except for the knowledge I understand. I won't remember conversations I've had either, know where I've been the day before or what I've eaten. It's been this way for a long time but when I was a kid I had fantastic memory and it must've stopped when I was a teenager. Now I can't record new memories and I do remember my teachers telling my parents in primary school something similar but I swear it's gotten worse and I have lost friends because of it since I won't have any recollection of anything we've spoken about or people we've seen. Sometimes I don't see the point in anything since I won't remember any of it anyway. Sometimes though, if people are very specific then they can spark a memory and I'll remember certain things which can make me remember other things that have happened. Also, certain emotions, words and smells can bring back some trapped memories.
There's this weird thing that happens and I think it happens once every 6 months to a year; I call it the day of rememberance because I'll be able to access the majority of my memories but only for a day or less. It comes and goes very quickly and without warning.
Anyone else experience something similar?
