Short term memory?!
Question: Recently Ive been having short term memory issues....Its not just forgetfulness its like I cant remember if I talked to someone five mins ago.
I just started a high pressure job..Major multi-tasking. Trying to remember 100 things at once and my boyfriend and I are having some issues. So I am stressed but I dont have it on my mind or atleast I dont think I do
Could it be there even if im not thinking about it? Ive been under stress and this has never happened before I dont know should I go to the DR? take a vitamin? De-stress? I'm only 19 so this is weird.

If there hasn't been any trauma to your brain, I would suggest that you're being pulled too many ways and your brain is always attending to the list of things to do without being in the "here and now"
What to do about it.....
Learn how to compartmentalize. Learn how to focus all your energy and attention on one thing at a time. Even if it's for 30 seconds. When speaking to someone, truly look at them and consider your words you say. When reading a memo, really look at it, don't glance.
Just like our mamas used to say.....everything has it's place. this applies to our very complicated memory system, too.
i dont beilive in de-stress vitamins
