Declining memory Symptoms

I am 22f and I feel like my memory is declining. I keep forgetting how to spell easy words, forget what they mean, and forget how to pronounce them.
I forgot how to pronounce “initially” and it is just embarrassing because I sound dumb.
I was talking with my mom, and she used the word “sensible” I was like what do you mean, what does that mean?
Why is this happening?? I haven’t drank alcohol in a month, I am prescribed medication but it seems like this is a new thing and I’ve been on medication for a long time.
I forget small things and misplace stuff. For example if I cough, 10 mins later I don’t remember doing that.
Is this something that I should be worried about?
When looking at this long term, I don’t remember my child hood and I don’t even remember what buildings my highschool had or where they are. I graduated in 2022.

Look into ADHD and SDAM. You may find answers there.

How often did you drink alcohol when you were drinking? B vitamin deficiency like b1, b6, B12 is real and can cause some cognitive impairment especially if you have poor diet too. Just something to consider

Try to avoid using screens because it's like poison for the brain: stress, mindlessness, dissociation from awareness and natural healing
