Cloudy

[anon99]

Does anybody else seem extremely unfocused during a time of high anxiety? Like you’re just not all there. I feel stupid. I feel forgetful, my words scramble. I just feel like a big ol dummy. I even type things incorrectly. And when I go back and read my messages, I’m like.. I know how to spell. I don’t know how I could’ve missed that. I feel like there’s something wrong with my damn brain. Ugh. Cloudy is the best way to describe it.

A lack of sleep could be a cause and if you're taking benzos they affect memory too.

I have had the same experiences as you and I think it is from those two sources more than the depression.

definitely lack of sleep. I’m a single mom with a newborn. getting 4-6 hours of sleep a night is something I am not use to. on top of anxiety. never underestimate the term “mom brain” lol it’s no joke.

Yeah, that can definitely do it. 😋

Yes I am with you !!! Total Brain fog a lot !!! Feeling like I am not talking clearly and feeling so blah and out of it ... cloudy ... I stay home with my three kids .. and have high anxiety/ panic attacks pretty much all day .. it’s very debilitating.. I do take Xanax through the day so maybe that is a contributing factor 🙁.. been on it for years ..
