I think I'm suffering from somewhat kind of memory loss. There are times that I have just done something then I forget about it. Like the other day, I knew I photocopied something. I remembered doing it. I came looking in my desk where did I put it but couldn't find it. Then I asked myself why did I need to photocopy these papers. I remembered I photocopied it to give to my colleuge. So I asked my mate and he said I already gave it to him. I'm amazed. WTF!
I usually just laugh out loud when I do this. I remember doing something but I don't remember doing it. But come to think of it, it's kinda scary.
Wikipedia states some causes of memory loss:
Alzheimer's disease is an illness which can cause mild to severe memory loss.
Parkinson's disease is a genetic defect which can always result in memory loss.
Huntington's disease is an inherited disease which can result in memory loss.
It is sometimes a side effect of chemotherapy in which cytotoxic drugs are used to treat cancer.
Definitely not cause of mine. And I hope I will not endure this kind of challenge.
Certain forms of mental illness also have memory loss as a key symptom, including fugue states and the much more famous Dissociative Identity Disorder.
Hmmm... multiple personality disorder or having alter egos... I usually am moody that I switch persona once in a while but this pertains to the alter ego to the highest level and quite sure that's not it.
Stress-related activities are another factor which can result in memory
loss.
Now this is more likely me. Too many brain activity at once.
It can also be caused by traumatic brain injury, of which a concussion is a
form.
I know I act like a lunatic once in a while and maybe said to have brain injury, I do sometimes bump my head to the weirdest ceiling imaginable but thanks to my thick head, I'm still alright.
We'll I guess for me, I just need to relax a bit and lessen the "multi-tasking" I am doing so often. I should be mindful of what I am doing too and lessen the spacing out I usually do. We'll if something happened more than occassional memory loss, I will write about it here. That is.. if I remembered it. :)
