I recognise myself so much LisaR in your description. I'm not sure of your age, but I also put it down to the menopause. Hopefully I am through it now, but the feelings of anxiety, "can't cope" and bad memory were very hard to deal with. I would have conversations with friends, and then afterwards endlessly go over them in my head to see if I had upset someone or said something I shouldn't have!

All these feelings are listed as symptoms of the menopause - so depending on your age - it could be an indication that it really is not your fault, and also not depression. I know I feel a lot better now, and a lot less anxious. Unfortunately I still have to work hard at remembering things! and the middle aged spread seems determined to stay!
