i have memory problems too. like she cat said, anxiety can make it hard to think straight or recall anything. i dont know if your taking medication but that can also have a huge impact on memory. i know when i was taking various anti epileptic meds i would forget words, i would forget what i was talking about in mid sentence and math was impossible. i felt like an imbecile and that part of my life is still a haze. as discouraged as i got sometimes i knew it was just a side effect of my illness and medication and not my intelligence slipping. hang in there, things will get better.
