This past month I have been very forgetful. I don't know how to describe if but it's like my mind will go blank and I won't remember soemthign I was going to do or something I was going to say. It feels it's happening more often now then before. I suffer from anxiety to so I don't know if I'm blowing it out of proportion or what. I don't take any medications for my anxiety. If anyone is going through this to and has any tips I'd gladly appreciate. Thank you.

    Sorry to hear about this, Hannah. Unfortunately there's not really enough information in your post for anyone to help very much, except for the fact that you suffer from anxiety. It's very common for anxiety sufferers to have memory problems.

    You don't say how old you are. Obviously, we all start getting more forgetful beyond a certain age.

    You also don't say whether you've seen a doctor about your problem. Discussing all this with your doctor might set your mind at rest.

      I am 14 years old. I get very forgetful when thinking of something to do or to tell someone. It's really frustrating because I don't know if this is a new symptom or it's just something that always been there and I just realized it. I do know anxiety can cause memory promblems but to what extent? I have not seen a doctor yet. I posted this to get some advice if I should see one or not. It is like my mind goes blank and I can't think of whatever I just had in mind. And with my anxiety it's got me thinking I'm going to lose my memory or other theory's that probably aren't true. I'd like your feedback and I appreciate you commenting. Thank you

      Your way too young to be losing your memory.

      It could be that your nervous about something or not getting enough good sleep. You might benefit from B vitamins.

      But if it will make you feel better talk to a doctor. But the chances that you have any 'condition' that would effect memory at your age is next to nil.
