I don't think anyone would understand. I don't remember anything that is presented to me. I never did as a child, young adult, and adult. Plus I have a hearing problem from when I was a child.

In addition, I don't have any friends that I've known for a long time. The friends I have now I met them through college. I know them but I feel like I don't really know them that well because I don't remember their birthdays. I have to keep asking them for their birthdays every year to remember.

I think something is terribly wrong with that because people remember an entire scenario that just happened, and I would have already forgotten that scenario. People can glance at a person and tell what they wearing and what color they wearing, but i'm not able to do that, unless if I program myself to do that. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING has to be repeated for me to GET it.

I have a very poor short term memory and concentration, and I think that is due to depression and especially the anxiety. I couldn't function at work because I can't focus and just can't pay attention to what had been said. Sometimes I feel surreal like my sense of self is withdrawing and everything around me is unrelated to me, in another dimension.

I know how you feel about the waiting for medical help, i'm in the same boat now. In the meantime you jsut have to plunge yourself in as many things as possible in the hope that something might spark your interest or motivation. The wider the net the more chance of a catch.

I hear you. I'm just going to stop beating up on myself and accept reality for what it really is. I had a good day today and I plan to carry it on. This depression **** is really serious, and If i don't try to snap out of it instead of staying in bed all day, I feel like I would end up dead....
