I assume this is because of my anxiety but I don’t know. For over a year I’ve been tormented by the fear of not remembering my youth. I’m 21f, and all I can think about all the time is that these moments/days/years are slipping away and I’ll never remember all the beautiful moments and rich conversations and lessons learned and feelings felt and such. I’ve started journaling (and even have a secret vlog that only I know about) to try to keep track of things that happen to me that I want to remember, but it’s exhausting and doesn’t make me feel better.

Also, I don’t know for sure that my memory is actually worse than the average person’s but I do feel that way sometimes. 

Does anyone else struggle with this? Have you found anything that helped? Helped either with having a better memory or with not caring about losing memories?

Thanks all, and friendly reminder that you are loved!
