Long term memory/memory in general? PLEASE HELP!!?!


Question:

Long term memory/memory in general? PLEASE HELP!!?

I'm only 16 and I find myself forgetting things that only happened a year ago. Usually things people say like certain words that trigger it. My memory has also been triggered by smells, dreams, places, phrases.

People in my school, are like "does this guy have amnesia?".
I don't remember me getting hit on the head or anything, and I am sure I didn't.

It's really weird. I also forgot about a huge old crush I had a year ago.

It's weird because it was the biggest crush in the world, and I got hurt really badly. Could my subconscious mind have possibly blocked something out? I think I used to be more outgoing but now I am kind of a bit more shy and cautious.

People often say "I think he forgot me."

People look familiar, like their face and everything, but I'm not sure, if they are who I think they are.

Anyway to help me remember? Is this memory thing all in my head? It's kind of scaring me.

People say they know me, and call out my name, but I actually have no idea who they may be. Any help?

Techniques maybe? Thanks!

And no, I never had an injury, I already asked my parents. And I can't afford to go to a doctor.


Answers:

Without a proper diagnosis, I don't think it's wise for anyone to offer advice or suggestions in this case. You need to see a neurologist to rule out physical causes of your symptoms. Memory loss isn't always a signal of a serious condition, but you'll need a diagnosis to make sure. Tell your parents that you're scared, and see if they can help you get to a doctor. Good luck.
