What is going on with me? I think something might be seriously wrong?

[Anonymous]

Okay so lately, for the last year or so, I have noticed that something strange has been going on with me. I will blank out in the middle of sentences, this happens a lot. I will be talking about something and then all of a sudden just completely forget what I was talking about and have no recollection of the conversation.

Also, when someone is talking to me and I am focusing on something else, I won't hear them talking at all. I will also forget things that just happened and lose things constantly, forget names of people I have known for years and names of common items.

I'm afraid something may be seriously wrong with me but I don't know what. Maybe I'm just crazy, but I have no memory of things my mom and I have talked about in the past or situations that have happened sometimes :S What is going on? Anyone know what could be the problem? I am only 21 :S

You may have amnesia, or possibly alzheimers. Not saying that you do, but, its a possibility. You can get alzheimers as young as 7yrs old. I'm not trying to scare you. I can be amazingly absent minded myself, but I have found you can improve your memory. There are all kinds of tricks that help too. I suggest seeing a professional. Find out what it is and go from there.

Perhaps you have epilipsy? It could be a mild form where you have absent seizures (i.e. just zone out). It could also explain your memory loss, where the seizures might have changed or damaged parts of your brain.

Get your butt to the doctor asap to find out what it is!
