So, lately I've been having problems remembering.things short term like where I put my keys.etc and feeling like I can't concentrate and spacing out more than normal is this from my anxiety

Yes! Our brains can only handle so much at once...and anxiety does take its toll on our memory.

Decompression/coping skills to relax and refresh the mind will help. As will healthy lifestyle habits in general...good rest, nutrition and exercise.

Yeah,

My husband gets frustrated b/c I can't remember half of the stuff that he tells me...

...but I also think that as females we just have a lot of multi-tasking thoughts going on as well.

I saw a FB meme today that made me laugh..it said:

'If men would like to know what it feels like inside a woman's brain...imagine a browser with 2,857 tabs open...all the time!'

LololoLOlololOLLOlloollol ;p

So true, right?

Oh my goodness, same here!!

Hubby thinks I'm bonkers half the time because he'll tell me something and I'll have to ask him the same question 3 minutes later!

I hate,....just hate (!) that! His mind is like a steel trap. He has an identic memory, which just makes me feel even more inadequate. Well know what they say about opposites attracting and all that.

I'll have a list, even written down, of things I must do, appointments I must make. And...........forget them. Then I'll find them a month later, realizing I forgot them all.

It's nuts. But wow, it sure is irritating.
