I am a child of the 60's and have discovered I now remember less than I
used to. Before I did some really stupid amounts of various reality
altering friends, I had a perfect photographic memory. I still remember
everything thing I see and hear but am not always able to retrieve it on
demand. Sometimes I just go blank when trying to pull up everyday words, but once I get past my frustration they are there. How can I get my memory back to what it once was? Help, please.
By the way just to let you know how insane and skewered the amounts were my friends refer to me as Jimi Oblivion, after Hendrix, Morrison and the fact I tended to stay obliviated most of the time and even when I wasn't I would tend to zone on nothing. Thanks Man.
It happens to the best of us! Part of it, as you already surmise, is the
mind bending substances. But a large part is even more difficult to handle.
We're just getting older. Of course if you want to remember things, it
always helps to come down for a change. I'll bet if you laid off long
enough that photographic memory will return. It's a great gift, especially for an artist.
Now if I could only remember the 60s....
