Post psychosis 10 years now. I still have memory loss from the trauma. I have forgotten most of my life from when I was prodromal. That’s about 5 years of my life. It’s been 15 years of being stuck on this hellish rollercoaster.
I hope my memory comes back! I need it in order to study again, which I dream about.
Did you lose your memory from psychosis?
Yes, my memory was affected by psychosis. Both short term and long term.
yes. everything came back dark when it was actually beautiful. It wasn’t as bad as what the risperdal did that did a number on my memory while keeping me in touch with reality. I think i’ll keep it though. I can’t remember anything these days. yes the psychosis was hell. worst hell i’d ever been through.
I unfortanately remember every single detail of my psychosis. Im not sure which is any better not remembering or remembering.
Try typing out or writing out what you’re memorizing. I had to do this when I was in college after a car accident. I was rear ended and ended up with injuries, including brain atrophy, which affects my memory. Writing out or typing out what I was memorizing helped me tremendously. I didn’t have to do that before the accident.
I have a bad memory but also brain lesions. I’m not sure which caused it
I lost my memory in a stressful move. I have to write down any appointments or things I need to do because I forget stuff.
If I dont keep a running list, then things dont get remembered. Other functions of my memory could vastly be improved also but at 54 I dont see it getting any better.
I remember everything from my psychosis and everything I suppressed from my childhood and teenage years because it came up during my psychosis…
I now have trouble remembering simple things like words, forgetting to turn the stove off, lights and where I put things… and so on… like the other day
I was talking with a classmate about movie and I was trying to say that the thing evolved… but I couldn’t remember the word evolved… like it took around 5 mins to come to me. Stuff like that
I’m going through memory loss stuff right now. My mom was talking to me. I just sat there my head down. She asked me what is wrong me I said nothing.
My non-verbal and autobiographical memory sucks,but that’s nothing new. I prefer written instructions I can read and reread, as needed, over spoken instructions.
I dont even know what real from my episodes and prodomal fase so i try not to care
