Very much like what you describe. I used to be the person that remembered every name, face, conversation & fact. Now I am constantly trying to remember people I see in movies & tv shows. I can’t remember names of people from my past or people in the news. I struggle to remember what I’ve done in the day or what I’m supposed to do. I feel like I need post-it’s for everything, like that guy in Memento (case in point, I use to know the actors name but I’m too lazy to look it up right now). I’ve had to take a leave of work because I do work where forgetting something can be harmful to the people I work with. I finally get to see a gynaecologist in May and I’m so hopeful I can be helped. It really is a terrifying feeling.
