I haven’t had ECT, but I have the memory problem too. My aunt just texted me to see if I received a Christmas gift in the mail from her last December. I have no idea. I vaguely remember receiving it, but if I did, I don’t know where it went, and I never sent her a thank-you. I was in a deep state of dysregulation and anxiety at the time, and apparently my brain stopped working!

Other things can definitely affect your memory. I know for me, it’s that I have a mental illness, it’s because of medication, and aging also. If it were me, I probably wouldn’t even remember what my aunt sent!
