Memory Loss! And I'm Just 18
Posted: 11-13-07 22:15pm

Hi,

I am female freshman in college, 18, and I forgot very very basic things lately: such as what a parking lot is called while I was in it, and what chilibeans were called.

background: no one would call me stupid, in fact they would call me smart, but I have had suicidal thoughts because of instances like these, where I feel as if I can't function in life if I can't understand it - the most important thing to me in life is understanding it, being smart at the very least.

* also, I am quite good at remembering numbers, tasks, and images.
It's just basic stuff; I also pick apart sentences until they don't make sense. This behavior has beein occurring within the last two years.

Thank you!

Alzheimers doesn't begin to appear until much later in life. However, you might want to get a neurologist's expert opinion. The brain is a sensitive tool that many doctors still don't understand. So, I'd seek some help if you think it's becoming habitual.
