That small piece of info helped me to realize the issue then was my attention, which became more impaired by anxiety.

I think this is at least part of the problem for me, encoding the memory. What I don't know is if it's anxiety, a daydreaming/dissociation thing or more like inattention seen in ADHD and/or something else. I was prescribed adderall in the past and it helped but made me too irritable. My aunt, mom and brother tend to be very spacey too and my aunt takes medication for ADHD.
