Does anyone else have constant anxiety that their memory is wrong? Like I get worried that I’m remembering my fiancé’s name wrong, or that I’m in the wrong house, or putting the stamp on the wrong side of the envelope. Like completely simple things

YES, but i also worry about the legitimacy of my memory for more dire things too. i’m worried something really bad happened to me but because i can’t remember it, i’m going only on speculation from clues i had to piece together

this is getting a little deeper, but does anyone else sometimes ever feel like they’re not living their life, but rather watching someone else live it? because i feel that way occasionally too
