About a month ago I was in a shop & they needed to take my contact number & I couldn't remember it! I have had this number for my mobile phone for almost 20 years?!! I could feel my heart pounding & face getting hot, and after about 15 seconds it came to me & we laughed it off.
Something like this, that actually caused me to panic, has never happened to me before. We are all forgetful on occasion, but it has really stuck with me & I have felt my anxiety disorder slowly reappearing over it, questioning everything I do, recalling everyone's telephone numbers parrot fashion, car registration numbers, just generally always testing myself. I have now started to loose sleep over my memory block incident. I mean seriously?! How silly does that make me feel??
And how many times in general conversation with others has someone been telling me something & said "for the life of me, I just couldn't remember X, Y or Z & it was a nightmare!"
So my question is, have You ever had an epic memory fail that has worried you? I have only just turned 41 last weekend, so I'm not considered old & a good 20 years from the general 'early onset' bracket for memory issues. It hasn't happened since & there is no history of mental issues in my family. I completely know I am getting over involved in this mind block moment, but it worried me quite a bit!
Share you memory fails! Make me feel normal!!
