Hi,
Was just wondering if anyone has had problems with memory? I have an anxiety disorder and recovering from depression, but my memory hasn't improved very much since I was hospitalised in the summer. I was suicidal, convinced I was being possessed so would spent hours on the floor crying and screaming so I guess my brain was protecting me from the bad stuff. I thought as I got better memory would get better, and I'm worried about having to sit my uni exams in May. My psychiatrist said its just me being absent minded and not concentrating properly, but studying would be a lot harder than it used to be. I have to set alarms on my phone to remind me to do things, but as soon as I turn it off I've forgotten it's even been! I've had to ask lecturers if I turned up the week before because huge chunks can go missing-weeks, even months! I know I'll just need to work really hard, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this and what helps? It'll be a slow process but would like to think exams will be okay!
Thanks :)
