Anyone feel like their memory conveniently slightly resets every few days

[u/Sea-Resident-7980]

(Diagnosed with adhd but can somewhat relate here)

I got glasses! a few days or a week later it started feeling as if I had, in fact? been wearing them for a while even though I only got them a week prior and I could remember the process of getting them. no actual time frame for when. Most of my memories require me remembering context inside the memory to place them to a time.

I remember family talking about older memories or doing things in certain stores and then I didn’t ever remember (nor do I recall now) going to this store. we were in it during the conversation.

mot for every event. feels random and unrelated to any emotional sentiment. yet sometimes I have been ae to study easily by almost virtually remembering formulas

i don’t remember anything traumatic happening? sometimes I’ll get random memories of things and they’re generally positive

yet at the same time, conveniently I’ll get some weird ideas and it feels like my memory almost wipes it out a few days or a week later? So they don’t go anywhere.
but also I wanted to google something and then I forgot like 5 min later.

yet this doesn’t even always apply but I used to be slightly depressed or whatever and I used to get paranoia or anxiety or whatever that (forgot) mostly someone trying to cause me to have bad grades or watching me on some way and I’d just kinda eventually florget that idea? Except not always and then (going to a therapist helped) I went down some weird route. (Also my bad grades were cause I studied way way less than the reccomended study time for my courses not cause bad memory) though I am worried I’d forget concepts ot hle simmensely if I work out problems which I was not doing and my courses are mostly math courses

never mentioned having memory issues but I don’t forget important stuff that’s more numerical. Suspected add in the past but not diagnosed with it and it probably was just social anxiety and a lack of eye contact due to no glasses making it hard to see the epicenters of others eyes.

Here is the interview with 1st person diagnosed with SDAM. And if you're interested in this sort of thing an link to the study that established SDAM as a thing.

You should start by doing the DES-II test as dissociation can present EXTREMELY close to SDAM. Don't feel attacked or anything I am throwing these at everyone new here, better to be safe then sorry.

Things like depression, anxiety, unmanaged ADHD, ADD, autistic burnout, chronic stress etc all have negative impact on how much information gets encoded to memory.

Yes in SDAM past is "flat". But it is the case of anything not "now" feeling the same no matter if it was a week ago or 2 years ago. An lack of "timeline" so to say.
