But deym! I have one!
I have been trouble finding words the past few days for my posts. Much worst today, I had difficulty remembering the name of a colleague I used to work with for quite some time in the not so distant past (errrr.... 6 years perhaps?!)
Because I felt bad that I could not remember his name, I really spent time scouring through my office email in the hopes that I could find some old correspondence with him still lurking around. NONE.
I also asked other office mates -- they also couldn't remember. I should have left it at that, but no. I felt restless knowing that

His name was at the "tip of my tongue" but oh well, I just opened my mouth wide and the wind blew it away!
I somehow knew that his name starts with letter "J" so I sorted my mailbox by sender but found no clue.
I felt so helpless, even opening my Linkedin account to see whether we are connected. Apparently not. hehe
After maybe 30 minutes of restless stalking accounts and my own email, I finally remembered his name. Whew! What a relief!
People experiencing the tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon can often recall one or more features of the target word, such as the first letter, its syllabic stress, and words similar in sound and/or meaning.
Tip of the tongue experiences occur in people regardless of gender.
The tip of the tongue phenomenon is known to occur in young adulthood, middle age, and older adulthood.

For me my own phenomenon is called

I think my brain never recuperated after my two successive pregnancies.
Stress from office.
Stress from home.
Stress from all other unimaginable sources!

And should I ever forget, OLD AGE?!
Oh, whatever the reason may be...I know that I need to work on my memory - brain exercise, ample sleep and relaxation are my most needed remedies for now.
I know, you need these too! So com'on and let's get some sleep and get 'em brain cells regenerating! * * wink * *

Writer's block is a disease affecting a lot of writers. Not to worry I just found a cure, take loads of beer and pass out <3
That's how I roll. Hehehe
I'll help you ma'am @arrliinn
J right?
Kidding aside, I'm sure you'll definitely find ways to relieve your stress.
Stay happy and take it easy. Maybe listen to a relaxing music or check some old photos for a change.
Cheers!

Try adding credit too, to images for safety. Except they are from free resources like pixabay or pexels or google images filtered for reuse etc. i have the same problem. I have depression, no sleep for a year, workaholic, shattered pelvis and 24/7 intense pains and my brain deteriorates. Well, nobody knows! If i could have only sleep back in my life, it will be huge fixing but real sleep is far from me. Don't be like me!
I did put all the image credits at the bottom this time I find them annoying in between texts and pictures...
Whoah, yours is definitely terrible. I wouldn't want to be in that situation. Though there are times when I would like to just hibernate for many years and perhaps wake up as a brand new person. But I am staying positive that everything in our life will turn out for the better very soon. I am holding on to faith. Let's all do. 😉
Be well, @surpassinggoogle!
Yes at the bottom is good too
No! This is the worst nightmare of every creative people. Di lang writers, pag nawawalan kana ng idea. Nakakastress talaga.
Yung tipong pinipiga mo na lahat ng creative juices mo, pero bakit wala?! Ang saklap
Haha
