Can’t focus and it’s scary.

I’m having a day where I just cant focus on anything. I was in a meeting this morning where I receive an assignment, but I cant remember anything from the meeting, it’s like my mind is asleep. This is not something common for me but it is very annoying, I wasn’t ignoring the meeting, my mind just wasn’t there and the rest of the day I’ve gone and cloudy, I cant even remember how I got home.

Hi Svtempus this sounds like something you should look into with your primary doctor. If you are having gaps in your day of blankness you want to be sure you have not had some sort of medical issue beyond Anxieties. If it is just a deep state of mental stress often times a change in diet and fitness can resolve in no time at all. Start with a walk that gets your heart pumping and some fresh air, even treat yourself to a light healthy meal, take a nice bath, and get some good rest. I find this works for me every time. 🙏🏼

Ive tried some things and I feel less cloudy but I hate feeling like im not in control of my mind

I had the same issue about 2 months ago. Look into detoxing your gut. The toxins have major impact on Cortisol levels which is the core cause of mind fog. Cheaper than a doctor and makes life feel better.

I’ll look into it and I also have to consider the past few weeks, they have been very irregular

Are you dealing with anything that has you super stressed that you would like to talk about?

I’ve been feeling very sad lately, and don’t have much motivation, i go to my appointments and take my meds but I just cant shake off the sadness, it’s like it has taken over

Sounds like the blues. Do you have any hobbies you enjoy doing?

Did you get much sleep last night? How's everything going? I suggest getting some coffee tomorrow morning and a good night sleep tonight. If you still can't focus, you should talk to a professional about this issue. Best of luck and stay healthy, friend :).
