Obviously he’s done a lot of drugs but medical issues causing memory issues isn’t some thing that’s talked about enough. I have like 3 different conditions that cause brain fog and some days I can’t remember anything at all. It’s hard!

Totally. Epilepsy and autoimmune diseases really affect the memory. So do TBI.

And honestly…dude was groomed by a super creepy dude. Trauma has that effect too. That’s a lot for sure.

Absolutely!

I was an English major and now I struggle to read because I can't retain details. I dropped out of school because of it. I did a quiz about "The Bell Jar", one of my fave books (I'm basic), and failed it. It sucks.

It is starting to get better now but healing isn't linear AND I'm still taking the meds that exacerbate my brain fog. I've pretty much switched entirely to comics and manga - the combo of writing and illustration helps me remember better.

I'm so sorry that you're going through this. I hope you heal.

yeah :/ like I will fully admit that some of it is that I'm a total pothead and I'm on a high dose of Topamax, but since getting diagnosed with a neurological illness I feel like I have gotten so much dumber

but you know, being a total stoner I'm sure doesn't help lol

My early life was filled with a lot of trauma. The medical conditions I have create memory issues. The medication I take for them causes brain fog.

My life feels like Memento. I struggle to remember what I did this morning. I have maybe 15-20 memories in total and I'm 38. It's really hard
