I feel a little bad today because I felt a short term memory loss again. I am having a hard time recalling facts which has been told to me just seconds ago. I'm having a hard time figuring out what to do with my life because i never had a job. I recently discovered that I am willing to learn how to cook. However. how can I be a chef if im having problems like this??? When I encountered that cloudy thinking I got a paper and pen so I could write down what the girl is saying to me. That way I could remember stuff. And it is effective. But not all the time i can write down the things I have to write right?? If ever il become a chef, everything will be oral and I just cant deal with that the easy way. I have to have my pen and paper. Should i feel shameful about it? Or embarassed??
By the way, I gave up nursing because of short term memory loss too. I'm suffering from depression and I am already 28 years old! I wonder what should I do!

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
If you want to be a chef go for it.. People write recipes down all the time and others do some forgetting as well..
All we can do is the best that we can.. I think a lot of people that have some short term memory loss use a pen and paper
Big hug of comfort for you...
I have to remember to write things down!
I hate having memory loss. I feel stupid sometimes.
Take care!
with Love,

I am new here, but I was in the same position as you. It was so bad I couldn't remember my words while speaking and a would jumble and studder. I knew it was coming from the medications. I used my smart phone to record and write notes. They have applications for sticky notes and lists. They help a lot and you can voice record.
Hope that helps...
