I have been having some really annoying (and scary) issues with my memory. 

Sometimes mid sentence I forget a word (for example I would forget a word and have to say “you know the vegetable that is orange and grows in a garden?” until the other person figures out what I’m talking about.

I feel like an absolute idiot, and it’s so embarrassing.
 
I have also been having issues with memory loss when it comes to directions. When I’m having a really anxious day I will forget how to get places. For example the other day I was on my way to see my counsellor (who I have been seeing twice a week for two years) and I completely blanked, I had no idea how to get to her office. It was pretty scary when I eventually calmed down and realized what had happened.

Those are just some examples and it has been effecting my day to day life. I’m unsure if it has to do with my medications or my illness.

Im just looking for some advice? Validation? Someone to talk to? 

I feel like the people I talk to about these things just brush me off and I feel like a nuisance.
