Afraid of losing memory

This has been one of my newer obsessive thoughts. I'm afraid if I leave my house and drive somewhere that I will forget how to get there or even how to get back home. I also have times when things don't look familiar to me or seemed to be turned around. It's very scary and unsettling. I have these images of myself being lost and alone and not knowing where I am. Anyone else have this problem?

Can I just say that this will NEVER happen. It is just your deepest fear coming out and is an intrusive thought. This will pass... im going through some pretty bad stuff aswell at the moment i have had obsesseions all my life some really bizarre, its just our brain chemistry alters we you are full of adrenaline and this gives us dark thoughts. When you feel really anxious ive found that going for a run really eases the tension. Good luck hun and your not alone! Im going though it too i know we can get through this!X
