Is it normal that i can barley remember things, including recent events?

I realised that for ages, or at least since i've started year 12 I can't remember much of anything. I can't remember birthdays, names, dates in general, I cant remember what my home work was, I don't even remember what classes I had on that day. I can't remember any details, only blur of colors and such. Its wierd because No one in my life so far has such shit memory and i'm wondering if my ultra shit memory is something serious or just the type of person I am. Any input would be helpful.

(also, I can remember things such as songs on instruments, and tbh even complicated ones and I go by fine with that. I remember vividly moments from films and such but for some reason other things in real life are hard to remember.)

    How do you remember that you can't remember?

    High stress an anxiety will cause this. Also drug an alcohol use will cause this.

      Well I started to realise because my ex would ask me what classes I had that day and i realized I had no idea and had to pull out my phone, and since then i've been realising how like, exceptionally bad I am at remembering details. Its possible that stress could cause it but I don't regularly drink nor do drugs. Anyways thank you!

    It happens for a lot of reasons, unhealthy diet (lack of veggies in your diet, lack of some crucial vitamins), drugs, trauma, etc. Best to see a psychiatrist and they may prescribe you some memory enhancing meds.

    You should definitely make sure everything is alright with you, but sometimes if you relay information to other people like what has happened during the day then you will remember better. Also, being tired can make it to where you forget more.
