Hi Everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone had experienced memory loss as a result of anxiety? I haven't heard of that being a common symptom but I thought I would ask.
Over the past couple of weeks I've noticed I've been forgetting pretty routine stuff. Things like quite big work projects (I'm a freelance writer) that I would NEVER have forgotten before, long conversations my boyfriend has had with me and even polls on NMP I wasn't aware that I'd taken part in. I'm not going into rooms and forgetting why I went there or losing stuff, but I'm forgetting things people have told me and that's never happened before.
By the way I'm 21 so it's not old age :p
I have an intention tremor in my hands and feet which the doctors have admitted they don't know what it could lead to (my parents decided for me not to have an MRI scan when I was little). As a result I'm nervous that I have a degenerative disease which could affect my memory as well as give me the shakes. I'm not usually a health worrier apart from this!
