I am in cognitive rehab to fix my memory loss, but my short term memory is deteriorating too fast for the treatment to work. It's starting to interfere with everything I do. I'm trying to learn Brawl, I'll constantly forget what happened seconds ago, and can't react. I'm trying to watch Boardwalk Empire. But I can't recall what's happened by the time a new episode rolls around. It's very depressing, and if anyone has any coping strategies, I would be in your debt.
Find a piece of string that you can tie around your waste and attach it to a small pocket notebook that you can use to jot down the important information you will need to remember such as chores, tasks, and other goals that you need to remember. Every time you forget something, be sure to go for the notebook every time. Be as organized as possible and make sure that you check off tasks that you have completed as well as date the start and end time for each duty you have decided to perform.

If you want to try to remember short term events, try building them around the long term memory that you can recall. Make a list of all the things that you can remember off the top of your head. Then list one thing you want to remember and add it next to something that it is closely related. Try to think of the short term memory in relation to the long term memory that is already established. Constantly recall the list from top to bottom and bottom to top. Once the short term subject has become ingrained, then try adding another topic to the list.

Hope you remember to check your previous post. :c

I'm going to get evicted. Somebody broke the ping-pong table in the rec room, and everyone thinks it was me because I was upset about being robbed. I really didn't do it though. Someone prolly came in drunk off their *** and sat on it.

I actually tried to see the positive side for once but there is none. This is just god kicking me in the teeth yet again.
Dude that really sucks. How much time do you have left?

And I'm seeing Black Friday Ads and Christmas Lights ALREADY. I don't like Christmas anymore.

I've had odd dreams the past two nights.

2 nights ago, I had a dream that my city (Baltimore) was being bombed by domestic terrorists and just last night, I had a dream about some lunatic with a Giant Robot crushing cars and **** and everyone was just walking by.

I agree with you actually. I stopped legitimately liking Christmas like 6-7 years ago and I'm 20.
Christmas serves no real purpose in my eyes. It's nothing more than a gift giving day and I'd honestly rather save my money.
I'll still buy gifts (As in one gift each) for my immediate family but only because they insist on buying me things. I'd feel bad if I got them nothing.

I love Christmas. It's a time of year where prices drop and people stay the hell out of my face.

What's not to love?

I find it interesting that you insist that you hate society, yet seem to take every chance you can to let them know you do. For someone who hates people, you seem pretty eager to make sure they think of you in a certain light.

I don't see what you're trying to accomplish here, Dre.

Use a planner too. Get sticky notes, they can also help. Like just put NEED MILK and on top leave a permant sticky that reads TAKE STICKY OFF WHEN COMPLETE lol...

you're a popular guy
If I was popular I wouldn't be spending time on a video game forum.

And Smooth Criminal, I wasn't trying to achieve anything, but what Teran said did bother me, so it was relevant, and I know Teran isn't the type to have a cry about it.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Smooth Law-Abiding Citizen.

I dunno I think I'm a pretty nice guy on the internet.

True story.

What bothers me is that Dre cares so much that I enjoy some breathing space.

But then again that's the law of SWF. Everybody mad.

Here is my internet self-image.

Material possessions come just as often as they go, so as long as I'm just as upset when they go as I am happy when they come, I'll never be happy with stuff. I'll just continue this US economy-like trend where I front-load pleasure at an increasing rate as a loan to be paid later until the bubble blows up in my face.

People have the same effect on me. I think I can get over having fun things, but I don't know how to get rid of this crippling dependency on relationships.

Money seems to be different. I can theoretically acquire money without eventually losing it, and I'm always happy with more money, because that means I can support myself and be independent of other people's goodwill for a longer period of time. Unfortunately, I don't know how to get this financial security.

I'm thinking of joining the peace corps. I recently noticed a dysfunctional, fleeting thrill I get from making others happy, and I'd be safe from dying of starvation on the streets, at least for a while.

I wonder if most people feel the same way as me, and joining the Peace Corps is actually the most selfish, dickish move you can make. Do people in developing countries really want to be propped up by an outside party?

One of my friends just described me as "friendly." I think I should be questioning our friendship...

I'm emotionally wracked right now...

Alright. Here's a long story that i'm not sure why i'm posting on a videogame forum. There's nothing really to solve, this is just making me feel terrible.

I have a friend, her name is Brittney. I met her this spring. She's a really nice girl. However, she has a few issues. She doesn't have any mental problems, she's just had a bad upbringing, and doesn't act right. I know that along with my friends, and most of us try to maintain a healthy friendship with her. However, i have two other friends who have been ridiculing her and treating her like hell. I never really knew this until later in the year. Brittney would come to me telling me all what the two had said to her. Worst part is she has low self-esteem, so she actually believes it every time, and each time i end up having to bring her up from her basket-case state. Personally, i am a little mad at Brittney for repeatedly wallowing in self pity each time someone berates her, but recently, the two friends said some more crap to her, and now she's leaving the school. She's also told me, "I realize now that i really am what they say, a stupid ***** and a ****. I'm okay with that now, cuz now i'll just leave everyone alone from now on." That pissed me off a bit too much, so then i went and chewed out the two friends for a good 20 minutes. Both of them were just silent the whole time. I never felt so angry before. That they made one of my friends feel like they're nothing, it just made so mad. Plus i think it's the first time i said **** on purpose. I'm a Christian and i don't cuss so that kinda made me feel weird that i could get that mad o.o
Another thing that made me mad was that not once did they ever try to solve any of the problems, talk it out, pull Brittney aside and respectfully say, "this is wrong" or something. Also, they said they're glad she's leaving, as if she deserves to be cast out.
Anyway, one of the friends sent me something on facebook saying how she's a liar and she makes sick jokes and that i don't need to to know everything. I told her to show me some proof of any of those things and i asked again if they had ever tried to solve any problems before cussing Brittney out. Waiting for an answer atm.

What really sucks is that i was in love with the other friend. I was very in love with her. I felt like she was really amazing. She was never mean up to this point. Then again, i guess she was from ridiculing Brittney, but to me i just thought that meant she was being a highschool girl and that it would pass and they would make up. Apparently not. I feel like i don't know her anymore. It's not so much that i had a crush on her, but that she was also my friend. I've never seen her this mean before so i feel like i don't know anymore.

I've never had this much drama in my life before. I always joked about how bad drama is, and now i feel like it's flippin killing me.

I am troubled as it can be... I can't get this out of my mind

There's that I been talking to in order to know each other more, but the thing is that she's into religion, church and those stuff(she's really in it) but I just believe in God and sometimes I just can't :( I know is weird but my mind can't accept fully that there's something else looking at us while we the world is destroying himself and doing nothing to restore it.

the thing is that I am starting to like her,she's really a good person to talk with, smart, responsible and really cute and she's the kind of girl that I dont want to be without but that "religion" got my mind troubled since if I were to have a relationship with her thing that I kinda doubt since that difference IMO is a gamebreaker.

idk what to do? Part of me wants to continue talking to her and try but part of me tells don't do it bcuz of the big difference of lifestyles and stuff.

:(

Seems to me like both of you are missing out on the something as a whole. Err, not quite fully understanding things.

Rated, I'm expecting people to come in and say "religion shouldn't matter" , but generally religion isn't very important to the people who say that.

Who cares man? Just go for it. Don't stop talking or trying to connect just because of her religion. Accept that her beliefs don't match up with your own, and who knows? You seem to be confused about what you even believe in, perhaps discussing with her will help open up your own perspective. Most important is don't try and force a relationship and don't get too upset about her/your beliefs.

Okay, update on what happened to me. Brittney may be staying at my school. Also, i apologized to the girls. One of them forgave me but the other said she'll never forget what i said. I made a sarcastic remark and then she blew up on me. now she hates me and says she's never speaking to me again. Thankfully, this isn't the one i had a crush on. Plus she was a douchebag to begin with.

EDIT: Ok, everything's been solved. I'm not really gonna post details, it would take too long and i'm supposed to be doing homework

Oh no, I have school tomorrow...

The ends of breaks usually don't bother me, but I'm feeling ESPECIALLY lazy after this one.

I though of that too, also idk why but you give that "sensation" of being the "he's too smart and cool" person jajajaja for some reason when I read your post. That's good.

Who cares man? Just go for it. Don't stop talking or trying to connect just because of her religion. Accept that her beliefs don't match up with your own, and who knows?

I will follow you advice, thanks man. It seems like the best choice to take.

I love those 2000 to 2005 people. I would have loved to make a account b4 2008.

School has become really bleh for me.
I'm noticing that I'm growing detached more and more each day from people who used to be close friends. Especially one friend who used to be my best friend.
I'm realizing more and more that she's a total brat.
Last year...when she was upset? I had to deal with her anger and frustrations. When I was upset? ...I had to deal with her anger and frustrations as well...
'WHY WERE YOU IGNORING ME?! IM SO MAD AT YOU! YOURE A TERRIBLE FRIEND.'
....Well, I'm sorry I had a bad day and didn't really feel like talking since talking would make me cry?
And we've grown apart more and more this year. She has honestly been ignoring me for over a month now...and we sit next to each other in art (which was supposed to be my favorite class...)
She straight up told me 'I know it feels like i've been ignoring you...but i've just been stressed out and dealing with college apps n stuff.' Yet...she talks to other people (minus another friend who is also ignored) and blatantly leaves me out of conversation/makes snarky remarks when i try to talk . She then asked to talk sometime outside school. Well, I still haven't had the chance to talk to her...so she raged at me. Sure, I understand it's stressful that she has to work on college stuff. I had to deal with that as well a few weeks ago. But she goes about it the wrong way...and takes it out on everyone else.

tl;dr
Teenage girls are silly and like to be dramatic.

Is there actually anything to gain by keeping this friendship?

People always automatically try to provide advice on how to maintain the friendship, but if she is not a good friend, there's no point attempting to sustain it.

i came across this today:

"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32

whether you believe in God or not......

knowledge is power :)

prepare your mind for the answers to your many questions, and seek them!

Consider it a last chance for her. She doesn't seem worth it from what you've said to be honest. Maybe you just need some encouragement to end it.

It isn't cool for her to ignore you and still talk to others as well. Just acknowledge that she'd rather talk to others than you.

Although don't always be eager to end "friendships". As you get older you don't get to meet MORE people lol.

But do consider if her friendship is of any value to you.
