> the last half of my senior year of high school is a blur to me. of course, that is more long term memory. do you mean long term or short term memory?
I mean both short and long-term memory. It's all just a blur to me. I think some medications do worsen my memory, but even-drug free I can't remember a damn thing.
I read an interesting theory on depression once that seems sort of related. The theory (as I remember it!) is that depressed people have disrupted sleep and you process memories in your sleep and thus depressed people have screwed up memories and screwed up memories can contribute to depression (the theory made a lot of sense to me at the time, so I think I must be mistating it).
