DAE experience short term memory loss? I’ve always said I had a terrible memory but I’ve been way more aware of it the last week or so. I have a photographic memory where if someone at works asks where something is, I can visualize the object and “see” it in a specific drawer or something. But unless I write things down I forget instantly. So I sit down to write a letter for work, get up to go to the closet to get paper to print on, but get distracted along the way, return to my computer, open up Facebook or something, notice my to do list and see “mail letters”, swear, go back to the closet to get the paper, sit down, check out a grant I have to apply for, work away for a bit, see the to do list, “shit the letter!”, finally complete and print the letter. 
It’s like unless I have a visual cue I will forget what I have to do almost instantly. Like I went to the office yesterday and picked up a cheque, did the deposit with the finance guy and told him I’d send the spreadsheet when I got back to my computer and put a sticky note on my deposit sheet and in my bag. Well I didn’t open my bag. And it wasn’t till hours later that I was closing excel windows that it triggered me “fuck the spreadsheet” and sent it forward. 
I’ve started writing down notes on what I do everyday and carrying sticky notes with me. My therapy has been getting deeper so maybe that’s triggering something but honestly it’s terrifying. I covered my appointment reminder in sticky notes last night to remind me about an eye appointment this morning. 

TL;DR unless I have a visual cue I remember nothing, no tasks, no appointments, nothing. Someone will tell me something to do and unless I write it down I won’t remember 5 minutes later unless something visual triggers me and then I remember instantly.
