Hi I hope you find HW a good place that you can come and get some great advice! And Kitt who wrote above me always gives good advice and I agree with her that you should probably see your physician. I started having anxiety and dissociative disorder problems about 2 months ago and I have noticed a big change in my memory. I feel like it's partly because I have trouble concentrating now which is most likely caused from anxiety, but I'm not for sure about that as I haven't been to the doctor. I don't take any meds either. Sometimes I'll scare myself into thinking I have a brain tumor or alzheimers or something ridiculous when my anxiety kicks in, then when my anxiety subsides I realize I was ridiculous. Alot of the time to make myself feel better I list off in my brain everything that has already happened to me throughout the day. Sometimes it takes me some time to remember everything but I generally remember everything and it helps me to not worry about it as much. I also don't know if my memory really is any different than it used to be because I never really put it to the test like I do now because I worry about it. I think ultimately it just has to do with the fact that I just don't pay enough attention because I'm concentrated on my own thoughts alot. Also over the past week my anxiety has faded significantly and I have noticed my memory has improved and I concentrate alot better. If youre not in school try reading or taking online quizzes. Or go to the resources page on here and do the CBT(cognitave behavioral therapy) on the link to moodysGYM. Someone suggested it to me on here and you have to work and use your brain a bit to figure out what to do. That's seemed to help me. I suppose just try to get some brain exercise. :) I dunno how much help I was but that's personally what I do and how I feel!

Good luck!

thank u for your ansews i have been very stressed n then i had a panic atack i ive neva felt the same sins my heds all over the place and i always seem 2 try n think back 2 evry thing ive done im only 21 but i do wori alot n i do qwestion how i feal evry day...

best of look 2 ya all thanks

Well for me I feel depersonalization and derealization, which is feeling outside of your own body and questioning reality. Also there are times that my vision gets blurry, the world looks sort of distorted in a way, and I get really dizzy and light and tingly feeling. Also I think the sense of impending doom that you get from anxiety, mainly panic attacks, makes you assume the worst.

Another reason may be because you know that it's something to do with your mind that you are feeling that way and you assume it must be something worse than just anxiety. Anxiety is highly underestimated by most people who have never experienced it or don't know someone who as experienced it. It's so hard to describe really but maybe this link will help you out. It lists symptoms :)

Alot of the time when I start feeling a symptom I'm not familiar to I will tell myself there is something seriously wrong and I go to this page and always find that it's an anxiety symptom, it's just new to me.
