How to know when forgetfulness is something more?

Hi All,
Well, what can I say but I’ve been so forgetful lately.
I’m 41, yes I’m super busy and suffer from bad anxiety and I have never been able to schedule well or keep meetings, but lately, I’ve been completely forgetting lots of important things.
If I don’t put a meeting in my calendar I’ll forget, and even if I do I’ll forget!
I use the wrong words in a sentence, I was telling something how ‘assume’ the day was and I meant to use the word ‘awesome!’ – I did it twice.
I’ll forget to call people back who I’ve just spoken too, just lots of silly things that leave my wondering what’s going on. I’ve done memory games online and my memory seems to be great with games but in real life – it’s all over the place.
I lose my keys all the time, my phone – I just feel as though my brain is in a constant fog!

Anyone relate?
how would you know if it’s something worse like dementia?

I’m too scared to go to the Dr’s about it – and wonder if it’s just the life of a single mum, running her own business?!
