I forget important details about things i did when I was younger. My friends remember them so well, but I don't remember. <br /><br />They remember so much more for me. I have come to realize that my brain just works different that others because of my ADD. I have come to accept the fact the I have a harder time remembering things and learn different than others. I could spend forever worrying about or trying to figure out why my brain is this way. I choose to remain postive and enjoy each day. <br /><br />I've learned to Enjoy the moments and experiences ahead of me, Look to the future. I try to not focus too much on the fact that I don't remember a lot of experiences that have happened in the past. I try to not compare myself to others either because we are all different. We were given certain health issues or mental issues for a reason.<br /><br />Remember you are a child of God, and he has given you different many wonderful talents that are different than others. He gave them to you for a reason. I can see from your blog that you use those to bless others lives. <br /><br />I have realized that it is ok if i don't remember every detail about people or their names, especially if i don' see them much. But, that does not mean I cannot give up on trying to remember details about people. There is always something new to try . Write down their name, and place their name with something about them. Something unique. Study the ward directory to remember people's names. Work on memorizing peoples names by looking at the picture. Hence the ward directory for your ward. <br /><br /><br />Try not to stress too much about not knowing little details of the past. I know it can be frustrating when you don't remember but remember your illness is not something you can control completely. I have come to realize that with my add. Enjoy each day and live it to the fullest.<br /><br />What do you do to help you remember names??? just curious\s??? <br /><br />Sorry it is so long, i get on a tangent sometimes. It is my brain :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780506856626441160.post-36922464051869848932013-10-11T09:49:34.475-07:002013-10-11T09:49:34.475-07:00I don't know what to say other than, sorry. T...I don't know what to say other than, sorry. That sucks. Listening to your words and feelings recalls to mind the times in my life when I've felt hopeless, confused, and lost. I've always made it through, somehow. Praying that you'll be able to learn the things you need to from this and that you'll find your way through. We need you and your amazing ability to fight the fight and to reach out in love. And that it's so difficult for you to connect with people and that you try anyway makes you that much more amazing.Lucas Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283095684780343798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780506856626441160.post-44964735512959120192013-10-10T08:17:10.408-07:002013-10-10T08:17:10.408-07:00Have you been to a specialist about this? Have yo...Have you been to a specialist about this? Have you had any blood work or tests done to help you understand better? <br />When my thyroid went bad I had a hard time with everything. I just thought I was falling apart. With the cancerous thyroid I had lethargy, bad memory, weight gain, mood swings etc. I knew it wasnt normal but what did I know? I was told that I was just a busy mom. Even twice the drs said I was just exhausted and gave me sleeping pills. Nope. Cancer in the thyroid. Of course my problems were mine and so yours are probably very different. But no one will take charge of your health except you. Since this is long term then they may have a fix. Something that they have dealt with for a while. <br /><br />*Kind of a shameless plug* I also go to Albuquerque, NM (a 10 hour drive) and get herbs from a herb doctor. I have never believed in that form of health care but I decided to give it a try. I am a believer now. Let me know if you are interested and I can give you a name.Skrawlinoreply@blogger.com
