Short Term Memory Losses

[deran]

no weed means to me memory loss

my brain needs weed to remember everything

simple: low dopamine levels

but thats me ...

[Munchy]

maybe that's why i always seem to remember everything long term
it's like my life is constantly flashing before my eyes
definitely more of a curse than a blessing
but I wouldn't trade my daily weed to forget

and as per the thread,
ive suddenly been confronted with short term memory loss,

it grabs me now situationally,
i stop as in trying to remember something i know i knew just a couple minutes before,

if this dementia is incrementally advancing my tricks to deal with it will be defeated and i will be disabled...

Was going through a doorway involved?

If so, research shows it is a common occurrence.

The doorway effect suggests that there's more to the remembering than just what you paid attention to, when it happened, and how hard you tried. Instead, some forms of memory seem to be optimized to keep information ready-to-hand until its shelf life expires, and then purge that information in favor of new stuff. Radvansky and colleagues call this sort of memory representation an “event model,” and propose that walking through a doorway is a good time to purge your event models because whatever happened in the old room is likely to become less relevant now that you have changed venues. That thing in the box? Oh, that's from what I was doing before I got here; we can forget all about that.

If you had dementia you would probably be in denial and never progress to an acceptance stage. From my observations living with an in-law for a couple of years...ymmv

so ive a couple tools, one is taking notes, even it its just going throught the motions in the air with my hand.
another is to to move something out of place. so when i notice it out of place later it will jog the memory

kinda unclear about the doorway model. but what i do notice is that i within minutes will forget what i was just doing. like i walked back to my truck for something but then getting there, i really have to dig for what it was that i walked back to it for.

seems weird.

but, i was a very forgetful person going back to my childhood.
so its like more of the same, but im noticing it more in ways that seem to be escalating
