Please help me Nairalander! Do I have a medical problem? Why do I forget things a lot?

Here’s the thing, I am someone who forgets things a lot. This may not sound like a big deal to you, but this problem is ruining the relationship I have with people.

There’ll be times when my friends would call telling me to do stuff for them, and the next day when we meet and they ask for the feedback, I’ll be there looking stupid because I didn’t remember them calling me at all. This is a problem because most times they think I faking the fact that I failed to remember.

I’ll be nineteen in a few months but I’m seriously worried for myself. I’m the kind of person who buys about three PEN every single day because I always forget where I dropped the last ones.

Don’t get me wrong, I do well in school, I currently have a 4.8 CGPA. The things I’m taught in school always seem to stick in my head, but every other thing doesn’t.

I have lost a lot of valuable friends because of this. Yes! It’s that bad.

There was a time I had a huge quarrel with a toxic friend, we ended up breaking up our friendship. But when the next semester began, I started wondering why she wasn’t talking to me. I tried approaching her but she ignored me.

I didn’t understand her behavior until the day I was flipping through my diary where I read that I had quarreled with her.

Please, I need help! My mum complains a lot about my behavior! Do I have a medical condition?

This problem is so bad that I had to buy a bracelet that connects my phone to my hand because I have lost count of how many times my phone slipped out of my hands.
If not for the sound that my phone makes when it hits the floor, I never would have known that it slipped off my hands.

I can’t write all of the experiences I’ve had, but please I need help! I’m tired of carrying a book Jotter/planner around, and I’m tired of setting an alarm for something small like “TAKE THE CUP BACK TO THE KITCHEN".

HELP ME!

I will encourage you to seek the professional intervention of a Clinical neuropsychologist. I believe you can get access to one at a University Teaching Hospital.

Me too but I don't forget those who owe me and those I do business with.

It might be the state of your mind.

You are welcome. The Clinical Neuropsychologist should be able to administer the Wechsler Memory Scale on you.

It could be caused by a lack of sleep.

Medications like antidepressants,

Hypothyroidism,

Vitamin B12 deficiency,

Or depression.

Consult a professional.

In Nigeria, it is a great ability you have if you know how to forget things easily, because if you keep remembering all the things happening in this country, you will die before your time.

I know a couple of persons that are like that, especially women. Most of you only forget things that you do not hold dear, but things that are important to you are never forgotten, that's why you do not forget your books but forget your friends easily. If you ask me I'd say the problem is you only care about yourself. Kill the self centeredness first

Hmmm

I think it's normal. You brain isn't interested in keeping irrelevant things inside it.

You either read too much or you think too much. You have overworked your brain. You need to free up some space in ur memory If you spend so much time on your phone or Laptop you need to reduce it.

Abeg you fit borrow me 50k I go pay you back next month ....I wan check something

I have the same issue. I think it's nature

If you do masturbate, then u stop it

Maybe

You don't always forget to go to school
You don't forget your classes time
You don't always forget to take your bath
You don't always forget to eat

Well we might them basics things
They're basics things because we made them priorities

I'm not sure you've medical condition, maybe you've got a lot going through your head
You need to let off some things from ya head
You're still young

No too de rush to be adult
Na you go regret adulthood later oh lol
