Does anyone else feel like you’re on autopilot?

My brain has been in a constant fog lately, sometimes I can’t even formulate the simplest words. I’m living life on autopilot at work M-F and I’m disconnected with everything else. Has anyone else felt like this? What are you doing/did you do to get out of it?

Yes! I’ve been feeling like this lately too. I too am currently looking for a way to cope with it as well. You are not alone here.

Thank you for the company! I wish there was an easy answer. I’m sure it has a lot to do with stress and perhaps needing to figure how to address/manage it but knowing where the heck to start is part of my problem so apparently I choose to avoid it and let everything pile up... how about you?

I’m the same way. I hold in stress a lot. I hold it on my shoulders and neck so I get a lot of headaches which does not help. I constantly feel like I just can’t relax.

Same. When I’m anxious I forget to breathe so I hold stress in my chest, shoulders, etc. My mind constantly gets in the way of relaxing.

Do you find meditation to be helpful? I try but never stick to it so I am going to pick it up again.

It’s nice to know you’re not alone. I feel like I’m looking for an easy answer on how to fix my own issues even tho I know there isn’t one. But opening up feels like a good first step to finding answers and I’m appreciative of responses. Thank you for asking.
