Anxiety blocking memory

Does anyone experience anxiety while trying to remember something? Mainly short term memories. It feels like I try to remember a detail from something I just read, and my chest will swell up with anxiety and kind of ‘block’ the memory. I’ve noticed this since childhood.

To some extent, yes. But is not anywhere near as bad as my other anxiety issues. I think I was like that forever. I don’t have this blocking issue you talk about though.

I have a terrible memory and that does contribute to my anxiety

Is just the ‘cognitive’ impairment from schizo…Keep lists so you can run right at home and work. Can try to think of opposite with tip of tongue blocks.
