What you are describing is something called "Verbal fluency," and it more often than not shows up as what is known as "tip-of-the-tongue" phenomenon. As the phrase, and you described, the word, even though it is a simple one you have used all your life, is on the tip of your tongue and try as you might, it simply will not come out. The way to deal with it.... well you are already doing one of the best things - get it out in the open and discuss it with others who are in the same boat. That way we can all forget what the problem is together. No, the idea is to compare notes and strategies on how others deal/cope with the problem. By so doing, you realize you are not alone in this, and knowing that helps you calm down a little and relax. Again, sharing with those you are talking with, also removes the angst, and thus the stress. Sometimes, this act alone will produce the word you are looking for. If not? Let it go and it will pop up later..... like 2 in the morning.
