I'm 30, my short term memory is appalling since I began suffering with anxiety. I could be a bit forgetful sometimes before but nothing like this at all xx

I'm 20 and I have anxiety and derealisation. I also have the memory of a goldfish.

I think what's going on is this: Anxiety causes us to do certain things unconsciously, such as thinking without thinking. It also causes us to be far more attentive than people without anxiety. In other words, we tend to over think and dwell about the future so much, that we have too many thoughts going through our heads which causes us to not be able to focus which creates the illusion of us losing our minds and memory. Hope this helps😉
