I have chronic depression and generalized anxiety, and usually when I’m really stressed about stuff I forgot a lot of things and commitments around me, but recently things have been different...

I’ll struggle to find the right word for minutes as well as names... for instance today I was attempting to talk to my mother about a recent purchase I made. When I went to say “It’s a .... um...” and spent the next two minutes trying to place the word. I eventually landed on “dehumidifier” which wasn’t it so I ended up saying “the thing you can make jerky with”

It’s been happening a lot... I don’t know what’s going on and honestly it feels like I’m losing my mind by not remembering words or peoples names.

I’m just terrified I’m losing my mind especially since I’m going to grad school, and I’m horrified this is going to destroy my dream.
