I’ve found that being in a mixed mood has not impacted my memory however if my brain is racing I struggle with encoding. My doctor said even healthy people who are multitasking struggle with encoding and their memory. It’s why down here it’s illegal to go anywhere near your phone while driving.
I don’t know how old you are but any healthy woman as she approaches 40yr struggles with memory. Hormone levels may be worth checking.

I am exactly 40 years old. I turned 40 in January. Also going is my ability to read fine print, but the eye doc says that is normal too once you turn 40, and my eyesight is atrocious. He helped get me into regular contact lenses that work in a way I would not have imagined (one eye undercorrected, dominant eye with the prescription it needs, crazy, but it works).
It seems like the body just falls apart at 40. My cycles are still regular but different too, which I will spare anyone from having to read.
Are there other hormones to check? I haven’t had the reproductive ones checked in years. I just had everything related to my thyroid tested, and it was all normal (middle of the normal range, not skewing at the very edge. I think I had cortisol tested recently, and it was normal. Same with vitamin D and B12.
