Forgetting someone's name... would this worry you?

I work in a small(ish) team of about 25 staff. In the staff meeting today, a colleague who I have worked with for a year and know asked me to write her name down for something. I was looking at her and for about 10 seconds could not remember her name!! It scared the crap out of me that I couldn't remember. This has happened to me a few times over the past month ( not names of people but just stuff).

The past few months have been incredibly upsetting and stressful for me for various reasons and I wonder if this could be a symptom of stress? It has only happened to me in the past month and am hoping it will settle down soon when I can grieve and de-stress from everything.

Please reassure me/ tell me to get a grip as I am worrying about all sorts which I am sure is doing nothing for my stress levels!!

I think stress will cause lack of focus and concentration so keep an eye on it and see if it settles down over the next couple of weeks.
