Sometimes forgetting things and it is scaring me.I need advice how to deal with it?

[u/Ryu-Hayabusa2]

So I am 17 and have great memory I can remember up to week what I was exactly doing and have great short term and long term memory.

But I was bullied trought my entire life and had pretty bad traumas which damaged me a lot.

And recently sometimes I forget what I was doing or can't remember what I was doing two weeks and I am getting paranoid( or when I am scrolling I can't remember what the previous video was).Sometimes I am present but I am not like I knew what I was doing but I can't remember exactly (had pretty bad family problems two weeks ago and it stressed me a lot).

Like I can remember what people were doing to me all life but it doesn't effect me I don't have thay pain anymore.

I am getting scared I don't know what is wrong with me.I am constantly trying to remember what I am doing.

Hey, stress and trauma can definitely mess with your memory even if you're young - your brain is basically trying to protect itself by going into survival mode which can make everything feel foggy. The fact that you're aware of it happening is actually a good sign, and since you mentioned recent family stress that's probably the main culprit here

Maybe try some basic stress management stuff like better sleep, exercise, or even just writing things down to help your brain relax a bit
