Hi fellow anxiety sufferers 😖 well I was booked in for my brain mri this morning but as soon as I layed in the mri machine I couldn't swallow which instantly caused me panic so I couldn't do the mri 😖 so now I'm back to obsessing that there's something other then anxiety causing this memory problems and confused I'm having I guess I'm writing this post in hopes there's someone on here that's also experiencing memory problems and confused from there anxiety or derealization any one ??

      If it makes you feel better, the first time I went for an MRI, I was the same way as you kind of and we had to reschedule it.

      When are you going to do it?

    I've been having bad memory problems, confusion, and derealization, as well.. I don't know how to make it go away. I'm so off-balance, physically & mentally. This anxiety is awful. sad

      Yeah... Well, my memory problems range from forgetting what I was about to do, forgetting the names of people in a show/movie (even after just hearing their name & seeing their face. Hope that's not confusing), forgetting what day it is, after having heard, etc. I feel confused with my feelings. One minute, I'm OK, the next minute, I'm depressed. I just don't know WHAT I should be feeling...
