@YourFeelingsAreMaladaptive You learn a lot when you have something like a mTBI, you have to reorganize you life with the attention and memory issues.

Like i almost do nothing without a notepad, because of my short term memory

Floki what happened? Did you get a concussion?

@Deleted User It's time to clean the floors.

I have a horrible memory for things I dont care about

For things I like, I have an insanely good memory

@Werlf Same

Its gotten better, but I used to have eidectic memory so it was a shock.

Doesn't necessarily relate but I have ASPD and MDD so I actually had to be taught how to interact with people, be kind and compassionate. I can kid of understand the requirement to learn about yourself and rewire your neural networks

@Merkmal Yea i has a couple concussions and hit my head once from IEDs my last deployment

Kind

Shid

Oof

Rough

I liken the after effect to ADD plus. Because a lot of the same symptoms, but add memory issues and headaches. But meds dont work on the first two. Its a matter of training and opening new pathways.

Do you still hold memory issues or have you regained your memory?

I've read studies on people with Alzheimer's actually regaining theirs so I know it's possible

I have a little back. I will never get my eidectic memory back. But over the last say 4 years i got a little of my short term back.

Atta be! Why won't you get your eidectic back? Too much physical damage?

Basically. The neurologist said that in about 90% of cases photographic and eidectic memories are lost with the severity of mTBI i had.

Dude that sucks

It does. I miss being able to retain with very little effort

Holy Satan that's a living hell. I wouldn't know what to do, learning is my favorite to do

I used to be the kid who could pretty much sleep during a lecture and retain it.

I can still learn, it just takes more effort because I have to push it into long term memory to keep it for good.

Hence more note taking and such

Well atleast in that case if you learn to master the method required to do so best for yourself; you'll retain more information on specific things you desire to learn

rip

Well, I'm getting ready to move across the country so I have to get packing. I wish you the best

basically. I mean one good thing is I only put in the effort if it is important. So less useless knowledge.

Have fun!

Very true and thanks
