Aw Cilly...I am sorry! :/

That sounds like a really bad day...all those things combined add up to big anxiety and frustration!

I hate hurting myself...my usual is bonking my head somehow...grrrrr, I get sooo mad about it too!

...and getting to your destination , only to realize you've forgotten something is maddening!

I hope tomorrow is easier on you!

Hugs and prayers!

Hi Cilly

Sorry to hear you had a bad day yesterday.

I have done the exact same thing with the dishwasher door.

Anxiety can affect your memory as you have so much going on up there my memory sucks I can never remember peoples names which can be embarrassing.

sorry to hear, it could be a frustrating little side effect of being hyper sensitive to anxiety symtoms, as in, you are thinking about anxiety and not what you are doing, so not so much forgetful as you are just pre-occupied. also, many anti anxiety meds can have the side effect of short term memory issues, which tend to clear up once the med is discontinued. i've learned to live with my own forgetfulness, making notes etc... but if you suspect it may be from some meds you are taking it wouldn't hurt to bring it up to your doc if it is affecting you on a more than annoying level.
stay positive, forgetfulness can be funny if you spin it in the right way, but not so much when you bang your shin shin (ouch!) or forget your wallet (darn!).

Guess what everyone I read online side effects of Ativan,balance trouble,forgetful ness,and so on ,I have been taking Ativan with seroquel every night since a week.

It makes me feel drunk next day.

Guess it don't go well together.

I need to stop Ativan at night.

Thanks all for wonderful suggestions and insights.What would I do without your support?

I feel so positive today reading your responses.

I appreciate you writing back.
Thanks.
