We cant communicate, I keep forgetting our arguments until i'm reminded.

Well ya, we will argue something, he tells me how he feels, then the next day we will be in an arguement and he will refere to something he said the day before and my mind will grow a blank until he reminds me what he is talking about.

I've almost drowned twice in my life and after the second time I noticed this alot more then before. It feels like I can't find where events link together in my mind until someone points it out. Like I remember it completely, but I wont know what part of it he is talking about until someone links it for me. Point being, this is the major problem in our relationship and if it can't be helped he will probably leave me. Sad truth is I don't blame him, he deserves to have someone he can talk to who doesnt forget every little thing thats said.

I love this guy I'm willing to try to go to the doctor if anyone thinks this might actually be something they can help with, or mabye take a certain suppliment. Mabye brainage? I dunno. Anyone have any ideas what this could be, or what i could try to fix this situation?

PS: I have no medical insurence atm so anything I could do at a doctor would be a local free clinic with the family pact card.

We have multiple issues but alot of them stem from this, day to day activities for the most part i'm fine. I mean I do have trouble linking things together like once in a great while I'll call someone and be like "Hey I hungout with a friend yesturday at the mall" and the realise I'm talking to the person I hungout with at the mall...

Kitty,  is this only an issue when you're fighting?  In general,  can you remember day to day stuff and carry on normal conversations?

Also have you tried talking to him about this and just explaining that you dont remeber and its not like you dont wont to remember its that you cant. If he loves you this shouldnt be and issue. He should be willing to help you and be understanding.

It would be something I would definitly try and ask a doctor about. You could have suffered from brain dammage when you almost drowned. Im not a doc so I dont know alot of facts about this I did go to nursing school and I know if you loose oxygen to the brain then some or all brain damage can occur. I would definitly get it checked  if you dont have the money maybe try vitamins think they make something for memory. Poss. try memory games to stregnthen your mind.
