Bad Memory worries

Hi,
After years of depression and anxiety my short term memory is now atrocious!
I can remember things that happened years ago but will forget important things almost immediately.
For example; I asked a Guy for directions a few weeks ago as I was in a City that I was not that familiar with.The Guy then told me exactly where I had to go, but as soon as he left I almost instantly forgot what he said and where I had go!

What worries me is I seem to be getting worse, it's becoming a real problem and on occasion embarrassing too.

All I can put it down to was the way my mind felt 'Fuzzy' when my anxiety and depression was very bad, I had little notes all over the house to remind me to do the every day things.

Should I be worried as I do seem to be getting worse and its starting to cause me problems.

Any input much appreciated.

Hi Kitt,

Many Thanks for your reply and input.

I'm glad you like my Blog, basically it's a diary of my of my life for the last Ten years. In a way I find it easier to write about my issues and experiences rather than talk them through face to face, It certainly has been a good way for me to let off a lot of steam.

I thought my memory loss may have been down to anxiety, it really is becoming a pain though, just hoping it doesn't get any worse.

Kind regards,
Gian.
