From writing online, I can not forget to say anything, but if I try to actually talk it without even writing it, I will forget a lot of things and freeze.
Just so you know, most people are like this. Our brains aren't meant to hold vast amounts of info in short term memory.

When you go to an interview, talk with an attorney or handyman or contractor or sales person or anything, ya write down bullet points before hand that you want to cover. When you give a speech/presentation/whatever you have note cards of what you need to cover.

It's not being slow or stupid, it's completely normal and everyone has to do it. Some people are more or less forgetful, need more or less help and support, but everyone needs something... we're not designed to be able to recall everything about something at a moment's notice.
