I have been getting worse in my short term
memory lose and i had a breakdown last
night b/c my coworkers got mad at me for
not remembering something. i cried and got
extremly depressed and didnt wanna go home
to my son and was going to spend the night
outside. it seems like i got distracted
by doing something else and forgot all
about what i was also suppose to do. i
feel my head is sooooo busy that there is
no room for short term memory. b/c i can
remember something in the past asap. but i
cannot remeber what i was just watching op
tv b4 the commercials came on. or if i
turned off the stove not two seconds ago.
no one understands that i really wanna
remember but sometimes i cant. they say i
have selective memory when it deals with
them but noone understands i cant remember
alot of things lthat are very important to
me too. is this something i shoult talk to
my IM doctor about? or is it just life and
i have to deal with it.

Absolutely talk with your doctor about
this. You don't mention how old you are.
Some short term memory loss is associated
with some types of dementia. In someone
who is young this may indicate a more
serious condition. You should get this
checked out with a doctor. A neurologist
may offer some ideas. Don't let this go.
