We have something in common, anxiety. Apart from good sense of humour, of course. 😉

We know the culprit. Together, we can, be a better version of ourselves.

definately, I no longer remember some of things that happened to me. I only found out while scrolling through old photos that somehow sparked my memories.

I agree. We tend to overthink about the anxious mess we are. Ignoring the beautiful moments that have blessed us once, in the process.

I can remember a lot with my anxiety because I do not let it define me. I do get anxiety a lot being diagnosed with depression and Bipolar but when i am anxious I write down the feelings I have at that moment to work on them later when I have calmed down

I’ve honestly considered the possibility that I have early onset dementia but I think it’s just the stress, anxiety and PTSD that I’ve experienced the last few years. My recall is terrible these days. I am forced to make multiple to-do lists in case I forget where I put the other to do list. 😰


The level of masking involved to cover up memory problems due to anxiety in the workplace is terrifying…and just leads to more anxiety and PTSD. It’s sad how much we are truly suffering to try and keep our jobs. I feel like most days I’m just in survival mode because there’s not much time to take care of my mental health issues.

I feel like my anxiety also causes me to have nightmares or really terrible dreams. This doesn’t help at all with trying to form positive core memories. Sometimes I just hope that I don’t dream—so I don’t have bad dreams.

When you sleep with those intrusive thoughts hovering your mind, it's only natural 🥲

For me, it does. I used to have a fantastic memory, especially for details, when I was growing up. My anxieties worsened over the years and several very traumatic things happened during times which I should have a lot more special memories of.
