3. I have a MAJOR problem
That ties my self esteem to my issues with memory. I'm only 29. But I'm very forgetful.
Getting a memory loss issue in old age is one of my greatest fears and it runs in my family.
So often when someone says something snarky like, "you've asked me this twice before" or "you already know this" it ****ing destroys me.
So I recede and think, "what is existence without memory? And thus, what's the point of going on through this humiliation?"
I'm so angry about it.
It'd probably help his memory retention if retrowire gave up doing drugs.

2. hang on. get some sleep.
take a nap if you can. go to bed early tonight if you cant.
eat something tasty.
do whatever you can to drown out the lies your brain is telling you. and they are lies.
tho an exercise regimen can be good, sometimes it leads to being overtired. that is when i am absolutely the most negative and vulnerable.
keep in touch here. we are listening.

4. Remember what I call "the Ziggy rule"
Guy I knew who was called Ziggy used to tell this one.
I'm driving down the road and a guy cuts me off, and I'm all tourgued off. I say to myself, "That guy just made me angry." Then I stop and realize, "No he didn't. All he did was drive his car. This anger is coming from within me." If I want to cure that anger, I don't have to go back and make him drive differently, I just have to solve what is happening inside me right this minute.

5. Difference is
Guy driving car could be absent minded and didn't notice.
Co-worker who smirks and says, "you've asked me that twice already" is intentionally impressed with your inability to remember simple things.

11. My friend retro, I also have ALWAYS had memory issues
They are minor, yet my mother died of Alzheimer's Disease. Overall my memory is pretty good.
Do your best to overcompensate for your faulty memory. Also, I'd recommend talking to your psychiatrist about perhaps getting a memory assessment by a trained psychologist. It could be stress. It could be other things.
Until you get that professional assessment done, when someone gets nasty, just say "I have a medical issue" and watch them squirm with guilt. Technically, you are not lying. We don't know yet what the issue is. As I said, it could be stress related. It could be medication related. You need to find out, long term, for your own comfort.

16. i second this.
at the very least, it gives a good baseline. as it was explained to me- better to compare you to you than you to the average.
i passed my w flying colors, but it wasnt that comforting, because i always could ace those multiple guess tests. but again, next time it will be more accurate.
i would, however, skip the psyche part if you can. i think it is checkbox psychiatry at it's worst. mine had some unpleasant things to say about me.
based, i think, on 2 things- i have an illness that docs dont understand. yeah, fibro is a thing, and they dont understand it. also- i have enemies. guess what? strong women make enemies. other people's misogyny is not my problem. being a strong woman is not a mental illness or a personality disorder.
<<<has always had the impression retrowire, although of the male race, is a femininesque hysteric.

Dear DUchebags,
You have early onset brain retardation. I suspect it started around age 6-7. By now it is too late to reverse after a decade of being in an echo chamber of other "people" with brain retardation. From now on out the symptoms of "forgetting basic things" or "thinking you are smart" or "thinking republicans are DUmb" will only increase. This is a terrible disease and I am here to help.
Post a message here with your name and address and I will send you, free of charge, a "remedy" kit. This will include one brand new Harbor Freight single edge razor blade, and one set of instructions on down the street and not across the tracks (in graphics due to your mental condition). If you order in the next hour you will also receive a detailed map to your nearest interstate freeway and/or railroad tracks.
Don't worry about hurrying. This is a lifetime offer.

Call me an empathy-challenged asshole (Which I am), but the sooner they all off themselves the better for this country and the human race in general.

>So I recede and think, "what is existence without memory? And thus, what's the point of going on through this humiliation?"
I forgot what I came to say but I'll leave by saying this...Grab a clue, hold on to it and get a grip.

It sounds like a great deal of the primitives would benefit their health and well being by exercising the "Ziggy rule" in regards to the election where their candidate got shellacked.

Sounds like you need togo play in traffic. Get a life loser!! :loser: :loser: :loser: :loser:

Beat me to it. Maybe you would remember more, retrowire, if you stopped smoking a quarter-bag a day.

Considering what Prog wymyn really act like when they call themselves 'Strong women,' yeah it is, usually falling somewhere in the spectrum of 'Adaptive/Personality Disorder" kind of thing.

Maybe it's heartless of me to say and post this, but retro's narcissism has devoured him. Pretty much like this dreary 1970s paean to narcissism and victimhood:

retro needs to get out of himself: in being a friend he'd be befriended; in serving others he'd be served.
