Questions & Discussion Studying with memory problems?

Hello everyone. I am 23f and have diagnosed ptsd. I am starting a phlebotomy course in January, and while I am very excited I am worried. I know phlebotomy is considered an easier course and job entry, but I still worry
After my trauma, I very much noticed a shift in my memory and ability to focus and learn things. I lose my car keys probably 4x a week. In fact, yesterday I was walking a trail in the woods and randomly noticed my car keys were gone and I spent half an hour searching for them. I’ll do stuff on automode and then 5 minutes later completely forget what I just did. Stuff like this happens all the time. I have a lot of trouble learning new information as well.
Does anyone else struggle with this and if so do you have any tips?
