I have been getting more and more episodes of "not remembering the obvious", I forget words and even big events like the mode of transport (plane, train) I used on a trip. I started to forget things more and more while I used to have a very precise memory, but lately it's been failing on some things. It worries me. I don't use any substances but I used to do a little bit of alcohol abuse in college. The main factors that I suspect might be - diet rich in sugars, absence of any physical activity, a few years of semi-depression that is getting better now and an insane amount of stress that makes me rather numb. But yes, this is a new thing for me.

I can relate to what you’re saying. My memory was never stellar, but it took a hit during the pandemic, I suspect. Some of the reasons you’ve mentioned (more sedentarism, a certain level of depression) has certainly affected many of us.
