Hi,
I was just wondering who here is experiencing the same thing as me. For a while now my brain feels like it isn't working properly. I've heard lots of people talk about 'brain fog' and it seems like this could be what is affecting me.
Basically my head just doesn't feel clear at all. I don't feel as sharp or mentally alert as I used to, and have trouble concentrating. My short term memory has gone out the window (though it wasn't the greatest before) and I make silly mistakes when doing things. I often get my words muddled up when speaking or can't verbalise what I'm trying to say.
Added to that my perception of everything feels a tiny bit altered. Its almost like a feeling of very mild intoxication, or having a slight head cold. All this is combined with a woozy, giddy feeling I have 24/7 and has left me feeling rather strange.
I've seen anxiety symptoms that kind of match this but can't shake the thought that I've got some terrible condition that is rotting my brain from the inside. I start a demanding career in 9 months and am scared that if I don't shake this by then it will seriously affect my ability to perform.
Does anyone else here have the same affliction and do you have any tips or advice? Would going on some kind of medication help alleviate these symptoms?
Thanks a lot
