Hey all, hey mods, sorry if there is a thread alike, but I couldn't find it...
I've started sorta noticing more over the past couple of months, despite doing way less drugs than I used to, I feel my memory is getting worse than better like I thought it would. I've been a very heavy benzo user in the past, along with alcohol, so obviously this isn't good for memory, but I thought it may get better for a while before I get older when it may deteriorate again.
Just some examples, things like my girlfriend asking me last night what I had been up to for the day, and a couple of nights earlier asking me what I had for dinner. As hard as I was thinking, I just couldn't remember until a couple of minutes later remembering just little bits and pieces. And my parents talking to me about money I owe, which some of just completely left my head.
I'm 26 years old, but my memory feels 50 years older. Does anyone else get concerned with their memory? Can benzo use actually cause problems like dementia down the track, or does it just "screw your memory up"?
Thanks ppl
