      Memory Fears Surfacing

      By Ironman · Posted

      Stress can trigger anxiety.  The anxiety pattern is  a distraction.  We actually thrive is these situations because we are used to the anxious condition.

      Memory Fears Surfacing

      By sTeaLth · Posted

      Yesterday I decided to take it for what it is, stress, anxiety, and normal to forget things or mix things up sometimes. I had good peace most of the day. I decided not to focus on small triggers, and there were a few. Instead I just noticed them and moved on as I knew I should. It helped me not even spike worry on some.  Today I have had a few s well, but overall, not worrying about it.  Stress and business is messing with me.

      Memory Fears Surfacing

      By Ironman · Posted

      You're overloading yourself and then freaking out about things that you can't balance on that overloaded plate.   At that point, you have to stop and assess what you can handle and let the rest go.

      Memory Fears Surfacing

      By sTeaLth · Posted

      You were right too. I have been getting that spacey feeling lately. It’s usually when my anxiety and “memory” issues are freaking me out too.

      Memory Fears Surfacing

      By sTeaLth · Posted

      This continues to crop back up randomly. Nothing major, but little things. Had a contractor at my house early yesterday morning and he asked me for my insurance card, I gave him my health insurance card. Took me about 5 minutes to realize he needed my home insurance, not health insurance card. Today I realized I had an in office lunch that was set about two months ago. Totally forgot about it probably due to how far out it was and I didn't check my calendar ahead. Still, adds to the pile. This morning, telling my wife I was going to wear certain shoes, two minutes later saying I might wear these others shoes only to have her remind me that I just said I was wearing those shoes. Then again later talking about a basketball game the following night, only to forget there was a game and that we had talked about it. Once my memory was jogged, I did remember talking about it. But I had to be reminded to bring those to the surface. Why won't this just stop? Or why can't I just ignore the little things that are probably simple misses when thinking about other things? So frustrating. This thing goes away for months and then slams into me again and works overtime to convince me there is truly a problem. 😞
