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. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;t I would tend to zone on nothing.
