Short term memory loss

I'm 36, healthy, ideal weight and I find that my short term memory is depleting at a rapid rate. What can I do or take to help with this....I have tried the B12 liquid but I notice no change. This problem is getting really embarrassing at the point I must write everything down or I will forget.

I would definitely address this with your doctor.  But as CJ stated, anxiety can also do this to you, as well as depression.  Also, always being pre-occupied with other things, constant worrying, etc.  Talk to your doctor to rule out any other problems that may be causing this. Take care...

Have you talked to your doctor about this?  Are you under a lot of stress or suffering from anxiety right now?  In my experience, whenever my nerves are up my short term memory goes out the window.
