You won’t necessarily find yourself unable to recall key events in your life, since anxiety generally affects working memory.
Instead, you might have difficulty remembering things like:
A few different factors play a part in anxiety-related memory loss:
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has recently enacted emergency powers in his desperate attempt to clamp down on protests that truckers launched against the Canadian government’s draconian Wuhan virus restrictions.
The trucker protests have drawn international coverage. More importantly, these protests have received strong support from American voters according to a recent Rasmussen Reports poll.
In this report, Rassmussen found that 59% of likely US voters back the “Freedom Convoy.” 42% of them indicated that they strongly support the Freedom Convoy. 33% of American voters are against the trucker protest. 21% of these voters indicated that they “strongly oppose” the protest.
On February 14, 2012, Trudeau invoked Canada’s Emergencies Act to crack down on the peaceful protests by truck drivers. These truckers have effectively shut down Ottawa over the Trudeau regime’s Wuhan virus restrictions. The majority of American voters believe Trudeau should work to address the truckers’ demands.

It has become exceedingly clear that there will be war in Ukraine. In fact, some would argue that the war has already begun. On Wednesday evening, widespread artillery bombardment of Donetsk and Luhansk started, and it hasn’t stopped since. It is being called “the most intense artillery bombardment for years”, and it should be making front-page headlines all over the globe. According to one diplomatic source, “everyone and everything” is being targeted…
A diplomatic source with years of experience of the conflict described Friday’s shelling in east Ukraine as the most intense since major combat there ended with a 2015 ceasefire. “They are shooting – everyone and everything,” said the source.
It is also being reported that mobile phone service is down throughout Donetsk and Luhansk.
Needless to say, a communications disruption often occurs just before an invasion.
Of course all of this is happening as accusations of “false flag attacks” continue to fly back and forth.
When the vehicle of a top separatist leader exploded in Donetsk, western media sources immediately labeled it as a “false flag operation” by the Russians, while the Russians immediately blamed pro-Ukrainian forces…
Violent, weapon-wielding, left-wing terrorists last week attacked an energy company in Western Canada, imperiling employees’ lives, causing millions in damages, and setting equipment alight. Yet Prime Minister Justin Trudeau doesn’t appear poised to use his Emergencies Act powers — declared earlier this week and approximating martial law — against them. Those he’s reserving for the peaceful truckers protesting his draconian COVID restrictions, who now must endure violence against them perpetrated by authorities.
The Gateway Pundit reported on the non-government terrorism, writing that “Canadian company Coastal Gaslink is building a 670 kilometres (416 miles) pipeline project across British Columbia to safely deliver natural gas across the Canadian province…. The project will help heat Canadian homes in the long dark winters. But pro-China leftists hate the idea and want the pipeline shut down” — by any means necessary.
This brings us to what some presumed Trudeau voters did just days ago. As the Vancouver Sun reported Thursday:
Violence has erupted at a Coastal GasLink pipeline work site in Northern B.C., leaving workers shaken and millions of dollars in damage.
Very early Thursday, just after midnight, Coastal GasLink security called RCMP [Royal Canadian Mounted Police] for help, reporting it was under attack by about 20 people, some wielding axes.
RCMP Chief Supt. Warren Brown, commander for the north district, called the attack a “calculated and organized violent attack that left its victims shaken and a multi-million dollar path of destruction.”
Coastal GasLink said in a statement the attackers surrounded some of its workers in a “highly planned” and “unprovoked” assault near the Morice River drill pad site off the forest service road.
“In one of the most concerning acts, an attempt was made to set a vehicle on fire while workers were inside,” said the company in a statement. “The attackers also wielded axes, swinging them at vehicles and through a truck’s window. Flare guns were also fired at workers.”
(Natural News) Researchers from Yale University and the University of Michigan published a paper about two boys who were found dead in their beds after getting a second injection of Pfizer’s Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccine.”
Cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough highlighted the study and the associated deaths in a Twitter post, revealing that these unfortunate children had no “chance at resuscitation” at the time when they were found.
“Clear cut findings on autopsy,” McCullough wrote. “I testified in U.S. Senate 1/24 that ‘one case is too many!’ Parents and kids should know more deaths will happen.
The names and ages of the two boys, both teenagers, were not revealed, nor was the location where they died. The paper was published in the medical journal The Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine.
According to the data, the boys “were found dead in bed 3 and 4 days after receiving the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.”
“Both boys were pronounced dead at home without attempted resuscitation,” the study explains. (Related: Braveheart actor Michael Mitchell similarly died just six days after getting his third Pfizer “booster”.)
Anxiety conditions provoke strong, persistent feelings of worry and fear, often about things and situations you can’t change or control.
With anxiety, you might find yourself stuck in a cycle of nervousness and worry, unable to stop mentally running through dreaded potential outcomes. This anxiety loop can take up a lot of mental energy.
Many people find that this state of near-constant stress and hypervigilance takes a toll on their memory.
Anxiety-related memory loss can lead to more anxiety as you:
Wondering why anxiety causes memory problems? Looking for tips to stop the cycle? You’ll find more details below.
If you have GAD, especially if you have a high level of worry, you may notice memory and attention problems. If so, this is an especially good reason to seek treatment for your GAD. Intervention can be a huge help, particularly if you find your symptoms are interfering with your job, education, or personal life.
Look for a therapist who specializes in anxiety disorders. They can help you manage your anxiety in a way that is healthy and sustainable. From coping skills for calming yourself to memory tricks to help you remember important details, therapy can be a major tool in helping you get back to your daily routine.
In some cases, medication may be needed in order to control your anxiety appropriately. This can be a huge help in handling your symptoms. Learning to control and minimize worrying can make a large difference in your working memory.
There are several different memory systems in the brain. The long-term memory system helps us remember information and events from the distant past, whereas working memory helps us keep information in mind as we actively use it.
Working memory is critical for solving problems effectively and managing chunks of information in the present. When this system is not operating normally, it can lead to mistakes, difficulty completing tasks properly, difficulty concentrating, and problems multitasking. Working memory is strongly influenced by worry and anxiety.1
This can be a major problem in your work and personal life. Worry can hinder your working memory, causing you to forget important tasks or appointments. You may make more mistakes at work or have trouble juggling everything you need to do at home. You might experience lapses such as:
Research dating back to the 1970s has shown working memory and anxiety to be related. Studies have consistently shown that when people experience anxiety, particularly when worry is at high levels—a trademark of GAD—working memory capacity suffers.2 School/work performance, the ability to use complex problem-solving strategies, and decision-making skills may be compromised.

If you experience generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), you have chronic and persistent anxiety. Your friends and loved ones may describe you as “nervous” or as “a worrier.” You may feel anxious about daily situations and your worry is likely out of proportion or irrational. Anxiety can alter your everyday routines, and it can also have an impact on your memories.
Memories can be affected when you are under periods of stress or experience some sort of disturbance in mood. Having a significant anxiety disorder like GAD can create some of these problems routinely, leaving you operating below your normal level of memory functioning.
And lastly, surround yourself with positive people who see the best in you and who bring out the best in you. Honestly, this was a very crucial step in my own healing process. It wasn’t until I emptied my life of pretty much everyone and everything that I was not only able to root out all the bad stuff, but really grow in all the good stuff as well.
Yes, this is very difficult to do, especially if you have friends and family who are toxic. But coming from someone who gave up every single friendship I had prior to this point of healing – it was worth it. Yes, sometimes I miss some of my old friends – they were wonderful people who did nothing wrong – but it was what I had to do to find healing, and I’m so glad I did.
If you’ve been living with pain, shame and regret over choices you’ve made in your past, let me tell you – it does NOT have to be this way. I know because I’ve been there, but I’m not there anymore.
