Your memory is not normal. There is a physical reason for this.
Your memory has got worse. With this condition, one can no longer memorize things for a short time. One also no longer remembers events from the past. There is a physical reason for this. For example, it may be a circulatory disorder in the brain, the lack of certain nutrients and vitamins.
