Forgetting stuff & lack of concentration
Since the last month I have been experiencing weird symptoms, though I strongly believe it's not something new but just now being more noticeable to me.
No matter what stressed or not, I am constantly clenching my jaw which is very painful for me. I used to do this unconsciously before too but only if I was really stressed or angry. But now despite my mood being normal, this is happening.
I have started to forget a lot of things and I can't seem to find any pattern except they are all related to past occurrences. I don't forget my chores or anything recent but large facts related to my childhood or teenage etc.
I am usually a person who had good concentration and was able to stay focused at work and did things flawlessly. But I had concentration issues while reading, watching movies, listening etc. It never bothered me in past but presently, I feel like zoning out and missing important things said to me. I have history of diagnosed anxiety and undiagnosed depression since almost 8 yrs

A psychologist will identify what is causing lack of concentration and help and guide you with ways to manage stress and feel calm.
