Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. There is nothing to worry about such type of forgetting. This is not memory loss. Such a situation is normally called "tip of tongue phenomenon".

The tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon (TOT), sometimes called presque vu, is the failure to retrieve a word from memory, combined with partial recall and the feeling that retrieval is imminent. The causes of TOTs are largely unknown but numerous explanations have been offered, but they are beyond discussion usefulness here. You just have nothing to worry about your condition and ignore it.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
