Hello folks! I want to check if I am facing something alarming or is it normal.

For the past year since the separation initiated (divorce isn’t finalized yet), I am having a hard time with my memory. Particularly in terms of recalling information which friends might have shared with me or work related stuff (it takes several minutes during meetings for me to recall anything).

Also forgetfulness , like I have left my wallet or phone behind at home a few times in the past months.

I don’t know if it’s just me being hasty or ill prepared but does this stressful time impact memory ?
