Memory Problems - (for the pro's)?

Question

Okay this is one for the pro's , since i was a child i have been uncap able of remembering things that I believe i should have no problem remembering. I forget addresses , names , location , cities etc that are mentioned to me or even pertinent information I SHOULD know. hers a few examples

I have seen a doctor 12 times or more and i will still forget their name.

I may live in a city for 2 years before i have the main streets memorized.

I cant seem to recognize my husbands car from other cars of the same color (even though they may be totally different makes , i improv by always looking for his unique licence plate) , can not recognize faces of people have met unless I have at least 2 weeks of contact with them constantly.

I cant memorize the times tables and do all math by a base 2 system.

I was wondering if this may be a condition with a name , or if anyone has encountered people with this same prob. I am 25 fem avg iq. No drug hist.

Answer 1

If I were you I would see a doctor about this. There might be something going on with your brain that could explain this. Did you have a head injury as a child?

By the way, I think it's awesome that you do base 2 math!

Answer 2

I get this too, severe memory loss which leads to embarrassment. I blame it on never getting enough sleep. How is your sleep?
