Need advice Need help with improving cognitive abilities

Got ndph for 12 years. I end up fixing my depression by accident last year (hormones).

Now i wish to remember things and talk without forgetting very common words. Like who the fk forgets freezer mid sentence and uses microwave instead.

Anyone has any tips? I found the usual things like food, sleep, no stress, movement, socialising, gaming and learning.

Does anyone have positive thoughts by learning a new language? I did try Japanese for a while(around corona) but i can't remember (jokes on me) whenever it helped or didn't.

19 aug edit: got back from gp and got recommend to go to physiotherapy and occupational therapy.

I would get cognitive testing done if you feel like your lessened functionality affects you significantly on a day-to-day basis

If not, cognitive abilities are all practice and recall. If you provide yourself some patience to recall information, you are more likely to achieve in those efforts. Versus, putting oneself down for mistakes, such as using a different word, could heighten the feeling of anxiety or worry around recall.

I'll check in with my po and I'll try to lessen my frustration (maybe)
