Memory loss??

[Lindagerr]

As we get older our memory can start to go and we forget things, I have been having some problems pulling words out that are on tip of my tongue. I thought this was old age then I remembered at one of the first job interviews I ever did I was so nervous it was amazing I remembered my own name (and I was only 21) then I realized as time went on and I knew more about my areas of expertise I would still totally lose important words when I needed them during the interview. Now I realize the higher the stress level I am under the more likely I am to forget not just words but events and appointments.

It sounds like you are under an extremely high stress level and you may have to write yourself list. Either before you go to bed at night or first thing in the morning make a list of everything you need to remember, just for that day. That way you are not overwhelmed trying to remember everything you need for the next week. During the day cross out things as done (this is a great feeling and lessens the stress a little) and add notes of things you need to add or remember for tomorrow. Once your overall stress level has stabilized you will need reminders less often. Just don't let the stress of thinking you are loosing your memory add to the stress you already have.
