How do you boost or help your memory to get better?

Question

I used to have a really really sharp memory that'd remember every little detail to the big picture of each event, conversation, day, I was in. From the color of their shirt, to what time of the day to every single thing they said, the details of the room. Now a long time ago some trauma happened and I'm healed now. My memory is horrible now. I miss my sharp memory. Is there any way to go back to having a sharp memory? By the way it wasn't a physical trauma to the head or something.

When I was in one of my classes we came about this subject. I am in school now, and I took a medical science class. Memory is different from what we see. Your memory is like a picture bank. I mean, can you really see words in your head or even numbers? You have a bad memory and it can be restored with time. I had a hard time studying and what I did was try to remember something that stood out boldly. Then I would name things off of my head that kind of related to the thing I just saw or read. You might not get back your memory fully, but you will get it back to a point where you are satisfied. Always pick something out on someone or an object you come across that will stand boldly in your mind. Then relate it to other things that are close to the object. I liked to play games and with playing games I found it easy remembering what a person wore five or six days ago. With studying it was also easy, because I could remember things much better than I did. I hope this helped, a good site that I usually go to is www.webmd.com I found that it helps, too.

Eating healthy foods is good for your body and restoring vital nutrients to you organs, but I don't see it helping medically in memory.

Good luck!!! I Hope the best comes to you.

Well, since you didn't tell us the nature of your "trauma" or how long ago it happened or what medical treatment you received and / or were prescribed, any respectable answer is impossible. I can say all this since I nearly died from a head trauma decades ago, and recovered so much that a neuro-psychologist in Houston said, as he was testing me, that, "Either you never had the injury you say you had (which I had all the doctors' papers and hospital papers and get well cards and newspaper reports to show that I did have such a head trauma), or your recovery is miraculous." But, as one of the neurosurgeons told me, "You had a 5% chance of surviving the surgeries and being anything other than a vegetable." I have done quite well, as anyone who knows me can attest to. So, before you ask anyone for a respectable answer, be detailed about what your injury was, what surgeries, if any, you underwent, and what medical regimen you may have had to undergo following surgery and whether you're still under medical care because of that trauma, and then we can give you a more responsible answer. Or you could just ask your doctor since he or she probably is knowledgeable about your trauma and similar traumas and any impact it may have on your memory. God Bless you.

I have heard that challenging your memory helps keeping it healthier in the long run. Languages are especially helpful.

Traumas affect us. I have lost many abilities including my memory strength with depression and panic attacks (10 years)
Also medicines have side effects too.

Anyway, exercising could be helpful. It's hard for one to try to get something they already have but I'm sure you'll get it back in time.

Try the pair matching memory game for a start. It's fun too.

umm lemme find one for ya
here's one but I'm sure there are much better ones on the net
