Memory Loss and Stress

[Justpeachy88]

Hello, does anyone know if chronic stress can cause memory loss? I would expect it to to an extent for past things but three times this week I’ve forgotten things that I shouldn’t have to think about, I should know them as second nature and I’m a bit worried. Can the memory loss return to normal once the stress reduces?

How extreme is the stress? Ptsd can cause memory loss

I have been diagnosed with CPTSD recently but the memory loss is only quite recent, the past couple of weeks even through I’ve been under stress for a long time
