Hey, Alright.

Often our mood disorders take up lots of our energy. Depression ribs of us that energy, but anxiety can do it too. If you are depressed, you will have some brain fog, but if you get anxious over it, you will start to go into fight or flight mode, or the activation of your sympathetic nervous system, which will begin to constrict your blood vessels and release adrenaline. This might make you more forgetful.

In my experience, Deep breathing and relaxing can help. This can activate your PARAsympathetic nervous system, which will help with your memory and also help you feel better.
