Anyone want to chat about memory issues with anx/dep/ocd.

My memory seems to be pretty bad in the throws of anxiety/depression. This may also be my OCD symptoms in the mix. I forget all kinds of things (forgot one kids hat and gloves yesterday, keys today). Anyone else? I get so preoccupied with worrying I can't keep anything straight. Is this also a symptom of depression, does anyone know?

I get like this too when my anxiety is either really bad or if it's low level anxiety that stays w/me all day. I had to put a keyless entry pad on my garage door because I knew I would forget to take the house keys w/me. And low and behold I've had to use that keypad to get in the house more then once! I think it's just part of anxiety our minds are so worried about whatever that we forget the regular daily life things.
