train your memory when you can
practice memorizing stuff. could be facts, or bible verses, doesn't really matter.
edifying stuff is better to memorize, it uplifts the mind instead of being negative/depressing (e.g. learning curse words in other languages is funny, but it's not exactly uplifting to your mind). The brain is like a muscle, you've got to use it or lose it.
what you eat and drink is vital, too. Don't lose hope, you still have the ability to strengthen your mind.
My diet is definitely amazing, and I drink a lot of water, but I also drink too much alcohol.
But this doesnt feel like "omg I drank so much I forgot what happened last night"
This feels like I'm losing memories I shouldn't be losing.
but I also drink too much alcohol.
Man, this is pretty obvious. Short term, drinking too much can cause you to forget a night (blacking out or "browning out"). So what do you think this will do to your memory if you drink "too much" long term? It's like chipping away at your "hard drive space" every time you put a certain amount of booze into your body. There are probably other factors that are contributing, but I'd wager that this is the primary contributing factor to your unusual memory problems.
I think I recall you speaking about your drinking problem before. Alcoholism is tied to early dementia. 1+1+2.
good to hear about the diet. alchohol isn't good, but you don't need me telling you that lol
looking into removing flouride from your water is a good idea in general.
I think it's a good sign that you've noticed this. You were still able to remember the name, it just took far too long. So the memory is still there, you just need to keep it limber by exercising it.
One thing I find is quite harmful to memory is how little time we take to pause and reflect. could be just reflecting on the day, or thinking through something. All this is exercise for the brain. Being still is important, too. The mind is constantly bombarded by stimuli from everything going on in the world (especially from technology).
It's important to take a few moments out of the day to let your mind relax, and to remind yourself that you can "look past" most of the stresses in life.
Random thought, if you know someone you enjoy being around who speaks a different language, see if they'd be interested in teaching you some phrases/etc. Learn to hold a basic conversation or whatever, no rosetta stone bullshit. Stuff like that is fantastic mental exercise. You force your brain to build new pathways because you're making it do something it's never done before.
My Hindi is still pretty shit, but I am able to berate a 7-11 owner with proper Hindi Grammer.
I don't know what pathways in my brain are getting fucked, but it is definitely ones that have to do with names and people.
Maybe you're being poisoned.
Fifth Gen warfare uses many poisons.
Like stay out of sunlight campaign
Anti meat and animal fat campaigns
Florinated water.
Plant based diets
Theo, why are you worrying so much over this one incident? Your grammar is perfect, that should make up for a momentary lapse in memory, especially forgetting your wife’s name. It happens, so what? You’re doing it and you call her by your first love’s name, I’m sure she will forgive you in time (not) LOL.
I keep on calling her Tyrone
