Memory problems

Guys… my memory is shot to pieces. Both my long term and short term. I’ve always thought that if I wasn’t the prettiest then at least I had my brains but I don’t feel like I even have that anymore. The worst part is that I’m only 20. Is this really just from MS? I’ve been experiencing lots of stress and trauma for most of my life but I don’t think my memory has ever been as bad as it is now. Is it possible I had covid and didn’t realise and it’s affected my memory?? I am taking iron pills too so maybe low iron makes it bad but surely not this bad! I can’t deal with this amount of grief and pain. I was suffering severely even before my diagnosis 2 years ago. I have nobody in this world except my mum who I have a complicated relationship with and is emotionally abusive at times. My dad has MS too, albeit his is a lot worse and he got diagnosed in his 50’s and is currently in hospital. I just wish I had another family member who would rescue me from this nightmare and give me a hug. I have nothing
@HeidiHelps

The stress, and grief you have been suffering constantly for so long are most likely what is affecting your memory. You are NOT losing your mind and when your body is able to relax and when you can come to terms with your grief, your memory will return. I promise <3 sideways heart and ( ) air hug.

Well have a really poor memory and I put it down to MS it’s horrible when my son’s disgusting things that wee have done in the past and I can’t remember even when my partner is saying something I done last month and I have knowledge about it what so ever
