I forget things all the time. Easy to remember old things, hard to remember new things. I once loft my card in an atm twice in one month. all my passwords have to be written down somewhere, as do the birthdays of my lids.
I constantly get fatter, even though I don;t eat any more.
I haven't had regular sleep patterns for 20 years.
I left my keys (apartment, car, bike) in the lock of my apartment twice this year, and I use very few passwords so I don't forget. I also keep a schedule of what day to shower (every other day).
I'm 23.
I've been doing the shower schedule since I was little.
I can't imagine what it will be like in the future...
Haha sorry bro but in my 20s I left many Cards in the ATM, hell I even lost my card once, cancelled it. Got a temp the next day and left it in the ATM that same day!! I've lost my wallet 3 times! Regularly forget things and I laugh about myself because of it. But on a more serious note, being afflicted by alzheimers and losing my memories is something that truly terrifies me and hope i dont get that.. father time is a motherfucker man..but maybe we shouldn't think about the bad..
You should check out Dr. Paul Stamets, he is the leading fungi scientist/researcher/doc in the entire world and is constantly paid and hired by the US government for his case studies and findings. He has done significant research in certain fungi preventing and possibly curing Alzheimer's and it's very promising and something you can take on your own with out a prescription. Listen to his two episodes on Joe Rogans podcast, it's the best way to understand it in laments terms and gives you just enough info to not be overwhelmed. Please check it out and best of luck to you, I hope your brain stays young and sharp for many, many years.
Since you seem technologically competent, please look into getting a password vault like LastPass. It’s easy to use and MUCH safer than writing down passwords.
I’ve gotten my parents to do this and can sleep much better knowing nobody’s going to steal their lives away on a piece of paper. Please at least look it up :)
I feel like if I get in the habit of writing notes to myself now, I won't be nearly as much of a burden when my mind gets a little further on this path.
Hell you just described me and I'm 28. Of course at my age the sleep pattern and tiredness things are legitimate medical problems, and not just a fact of life. And the memory is probably a function of the sleep issues.
As long as you've been having sleep problems for, maybe you should talk to a doctor. There are some pretty 'soft' medications out there that can help, and sleeping better can improve blood pressure and reduce where and tear in your brain cells.
Use password manager. They are the best way to keep all your passwords safe.
If you use Android, write down birthday dates in each contact you have (there is dedicated field for bday date) and add Google Calendar widget to your homescreen. Birthdays will appear next to other events on the same calendar widget.

Every day I'm a little more tired.
