Short term memory is awful!

[Lonewolf]

For about 3 months now, my short term memory has been terrible! I just can't remember stuff! like what I did this morning, times I've agreed to meet people, appointments, phone calls!
I laugh it off but it is worrying!!
Life has been pretty hectic lately, but is that really the cause of this short term memory loss??
I can remember what happened last year and even further back than that!
Is this a sign of stress? or mental illness creeping up?
Or does this just happen to everyone now and then?
Im sorry to ask so many questions!

STRESS anxiety not eating properly or sleeping poorly are just a few reasons why short term memory can be affected Depending on ones age that too can affect ones memory Your work load I do hope you talk to your doctor though. maybe get some blood work done see if that is out of whack or not always better to have it checked out by a professional when things start to change hugs

Some medications, too, can mess with memory.
