Anxiety

dose any1 else get memory problems with anxiety my doctor said its normal but i dont belive him please help

Yea x

hi…describe your memory problems…

just forgetting were i put things memory just going blank for a few seconds or minutes i think ive forgot things but i havent i keep going round in circuls trying to remember things that arnt even important

and when i try to go to sleep it feels like my heart stops for a second and i wake up in a panic atleast 3/4 times a night

I’m like that but think mine is due to aging

yeah my short term memory used to be terrible.
you will find…as i do, it makes sense as your mind is so preoccupied with anxiety its more that you are not paying attention or focusing properly…your memory obviously comes from your mind. and if its unwell it stands to reason that it wont function as it should.
dont worry. just take time to relax but only when you have earned it.
do something positive and keep busy then down time will feel so much more rewarding
take it steady

mine does the same…dont worry too much

see im only 34 i convinced myself i had dementia but doctors and others said no its down to anxiety and stress

thank you for your reply i thought i was the only one with memory problems like this it scares me

Are you on medication for anxiety? This is usually what causes forgetfulness.

yes i do im anxietyer my self and i hate it But when i get social and keep my self busy in some stuff that im fine jus stay away from google cause in my case it was him i had a sinus infection and he told me that i have ms and ive ruined my 4 year relationship he took my girl away from me Google why cause my girl friend she start thinking that ima psychopath or something cause i was super obssesive about my health ive ruined everything and ive missed everything and i dont want others to miss that whenever u feel like that something is not right! jus get ur self busy and dont discuss it on forums cause diffrnt people have diffrnt views and it will make ur anxiety worse anxiety is nothing its something that what weve created stuck in the home freezing outside free mind is a house of evil and he fills our head with negative thoughts jus go outside ive got sick cause it was minus 20 but i dont care im enjoying it yuhuuuu jus kill anxiety live life
