Don't worry. I have this problem too, but I realised that I can't learn and retain everything as a scientist, so I learn what I need..and if I need to refresh my memory, then I know what books I left it in. Most scientist own lots of books for a reason, because the brain forgets stuff.
My memory is getting worse, but I keep a notebook and write stuff in it, so if I need to remind myself, then it's somewhere I can merely recall it from. Paper lasts for centuries, and my brain will be useless in less time that that.
What matters in life is what you do now. Just focus on the now, breathe slowly in and out..let the past be the past, and the future is somewhere you'll be in the future. Having a little learned comforting universal wisdom is better than teenage angst, I can tell you..
