Memory problems with bipolar/anxiety???

[Gigi991]

Hi,

This is my first post and am having experiences that are really starting to scare me. I have a long history of severe anxiety and Bipolar type 2. I've recently been on a big low plus having panic attacks nearly every day. Over the past few months I frequently find myself in the middle of an activity with no memory of starting it, having conversations that I completely forget about and unable to remember what I just did that day/day before. Does anyone else experience something like this as part of that depression brain-fog?

Thanks in advance

Hi, welcome

I have bipolar2. My short term memory is atrocious. I believe it is the result of medication over the last 16 years but its a guess.

I'm almost in the habit of writing things down especially shopping lists, using my mobile phone for alarms and its notebook.

You aren't alone in this memory stuff.
