Memory loss

I couldn't find anywhere else to post this.. Sorry

Hi,

My question really is about memory loss. I am only 24 years and I feel like I am too young to be experiencing this kind of memory loss; I don't know what you want to call it but I just think maybe it's getting worse?

I always had a little hard time remembering things but recently I think it has reached a level now where it is impacting me and my surrondings. Less than a week ago, I lost my iphone, (or so I thought) when going at the post office. I was persuaded that I took the iphone with me when I left my car, since the addres that I needed was in there. So, in post office I left the counter for a while to get an envelope and when I came back somehow I realized I didn't have my phone with me and really started panicking. I left the post office and called AT&t to suspend the account. I went back the next day to check the cameras to see if we could identify whoever stole it but was told by the manager that i needed to get the police in order to do that, which I did. Unfortunately or fortunately the cameras didn't reach the location I was at. At that point there was nothing else that could be done so I just went home, almost crying for my phone. Later that day, my brother was driving my car and he found the phone in the car!! I still don't remember how I could have left it in there;
My people just laughed about it but it is really worrying me.

The second episode happened yesterday, as i was rushing home to get to work, i suddenly forgot where i left my keys, ( that I remembered having with me 2mns earlier) As I was late i just used my spare keys to get to work. It was only later on yesterday night as I was cheking something in the same purse i used, that I found the key in one of the pockets. I had to spend some times at my cousin's house after work, and wait for my roomate to come back since I thought I didn't have my keys with me. I have no idea how the key got into my bag, as I checked it the morning and didn't see anything.
It is the second time this one happens

I understand that sometimes people can forget things, but when it starts to affect my everyday life and routine, I start to wonder if I am actually sick?

I am perfectly healthy, No meds, no alcohol, No smoking, I'm not even stressed. I have nothing to stress about, but these memory blackouts I have. I don;t have insurance yet so I guess I can't go see a doctor.

I also do things at night, during my sleep I guess, that I do not remember at all. People have told me that I talk, and also I will sometimes wake up and walk around the house, or just do stupid things. Things that I really have no clue that I did, in the morning.
Another thing that just freaks me out is the fact that I can never remember when I wake up and turn off my heater machine, (which is always on at night). I always wake up in the morning freezing in my bed, not knowing who turned that off. And I sleep alone.

I'm actually thinking about buying a camera to videotape myself sleeping. That might help!

I dont think you are sick but it wont hurt to speak to your doctor .Many younger folks because of their racing around lifestyle are forgetful. Do you take any meds for anything as the side effects of some meds can cause temporary forgetfulness.Stress is another culprit, are you upset stressed out by anything happening in your life.,sounds like you need to relax a little ...good luck check out the groups we have you may find some you would like .
