New symptom?

[ascaredteen]

Ever since I have been getting ready for college I have been experiencing what I assume is a new symptom of my GAD. Certain things in my head are fogged over like a mirror after a warm shower. It's small little insignificant details, but thinking about it with the combination of my hypochondria sends me into a panic attack. Is confusion/minor memory loss a more serious factor or a symptom of anxiety? Mind you, the fact that I haven't been sleeping well lately must make this even worse.

I would love to know if anyone else experiences this symptom.

It happens to me all the time:( it's been happening all week actually. It's totally anxiety related. There are times where I forget how to speak and it scared the crap out of me. You have to just tell yourself it's anxiety and soon the feelings fade.
