Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Does anyone else realize that their depression has affected their memory? I've had this idea for a really long time and it's bothered me. I don't know really what else to attribute it to.
My husband and i had an argument last night over something i thought he didn't tell me truthfully but he said he did. Then he told me i was retarded and never remember anything and that hit a soft spot because i realized again that it was true. AAAHHHH!

But, yes memory has been affected by depression. Strangely, when Im miserable, If I watch or read something, I remember it. If I am quite up and happy, I tend to forget. Joy makes me a ditz.
and wittsend, my husband is the same way. i can't really have a good "talk" with him when we're both angry because it just turns out to be a bicker battle and nothing gets settled...so frustrating!
