I feel for you- I’ve been through that too. My best advice is to start writing down some positive things from your life before all this started and put down some things you used to like to do and read it out loud to yourself in the mirror and keep doing this every day- it might sound stupid, but it helped me- start putting the positive thoughts back into your brain. You can do it- I believe in you

On my better days of less brain fog and clarity I can look back and see how bad my bad days are. On a bad day, I don’t think or just can’t do what I know I need to do. So on the good days I try to set it up to have things ready in place to help myself get through it. Having daily reminders in my phone and daily positive email newsletters and a positive quote for the day app all help me to keep putting it back into my brain even though on the bad days I don’t necessarily believe it when I read it, it’s still putting it back in my head and subconsciously starts to get the ball rolling.a

Hi, love the idea of writing things down, I have been journaling for decades, when one is well it is interesting to go back and read what I have read. If that is not enough, consider talking with a therapist, a support group or even a psychiatrist. There are ways to get our minds sorted out, some are simple and some need legal drugs. For me I want peace of mind so I have sorted thru them to find something that works. Be kind to yourself and love yourself. And talk to us, we love you and will help if we can.Sprinkle 1
