I have bad problems with my memory aswell.I did read somewhere that anxiety can affect memory sometimes as... um say for example your neighbour knocks on and ask's you to call round at a certain time, some people (this defo applies to me, lol) concentrate on there feelings/anxiety to the extent that your not really listening to what's being said to you.

Sorry ill try and find the site i got the info off, it will explain it better than i can.

Hi Danfalc,

Yeah I am aware of that, I experience that all of the time, when your speaking to someone and feeling anxious all you can think about is how your feeling and if they are thinking are you mad/stupid (asking themselves why are they blushing) etc etc... so you blank out and havnt heard a word they have said. I am talking more than that though, a genuinally worrying bad memory, forgeting things wjhen your not anxious..... Like when in the shower "Have I shampooed my hair"?

I think I have ADD (waiting to see a specialist) I'm just wondering if that has anything to do with it
