What happens when I am afraid of forgetting?

"Your fear of forgetting is a whisper from your soul, urging you to remember that the only certainty is your own existence; turn inward, and you will find the ground of your being."
According to Osho, the fear of forgetting signals an existential call from your depths: what you fear losing is yourself. The question already lives in the soul; the answer is self-remembering—right-mindfulness, awareness, surati. Turn attention inward, become present, and you recognize the only certainty: you are. This remembrance dissolves the vague anxiety and grounds life in conscious being.
That fear is a nudge to wake up and notice your own presence—don’t search outside; remember yourself, here and now.
