I have been suffering from brain fog for a while now. Things such as retaining information, thinking things through and even reading have become more challenging or me. I know that this isn't normal because I didn't have these issues until a year or two ago. It's honestly harming my confidence, but I don't know if it's biological or if I noticed a mistake I made and my anxiety is keeping me in a sort of loop. If anyone could give me some advice, please do.

Have you looked into your diet, vitamins/minerals, heavy-metals levels? Are you taking any medication, supplements..? How's your stress level?

I've been trying to eat more brain foods like blueberries and fish. However, I'm a very picky eater so a lot of vegetables don't click with me. I've tried Omega-3 supplements in the past but I'm not sure that they helped much. Finally, I think I'm always stressed out about something, whether it be work or personal things; it's just usually in the back of my mind.

I don't believe so but I can try avoiding bread for a bit to see if that's it.

Sometimes I notice my brain doing this during my more intense moments. Particularly moments of severe stress. I then go over my thoughts, do reality checks. Check in on things I do throughout the day to confirm my functionality and being “normal.” I wish that I had advice but for me I practice DBT skills, keep lists, set alarms, and take my time when I need to think something through. We are only human after all. Edit: Figured I should add that keeping a schedule for sleep helps, too. Trying to eat healthier, taking supplements, keeping any chronic illness in check if it applies to you. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
