Forgetfulness

Blus's,

Temporary memory loss with anxiety is normal. We get overwhelmed with dealing with stress and  the  management thereof...and something has to give...and sometimes it is a name or important number/date/fact, ect... that we should know!

We get panicked about not being able to recall something, and the memory gets even more inhibited, and on and on.

If you had given it some time, taken somed deep breaths and been able to decompress for awhile, that name would have come to you...for sure.

No worries...just keep up your coping skills to keep your overall anxiety levels as low as possible.:)

Add me to the list. It freaked me out at first too but I go over it.
I've noticed I sometimes say the wrong word & then that freaks me out too. Just the other day, my neighbor asked where I got the LED lights on my Christmas wreath. I said "Hooks" & I meant to say CVS! All of the Hooks drugstores turned into CVS's like.... 25 yrs ago???!! I thought "omg a brain tumor! epilepsy! Alzheimer's! I obsessed on that the rest of the night grrr.

So yeah, it's normal. Upsetting but it really means nothing.

Hugs!

Oh yes! A couple weeks ago I completely forgot my drivers license number. I've always known it by heart. Weirdest thing ever. Anxiety causes the craziest symptoms.
