Thank you so much! i have been trying to find out what is wrong with me. i think i had this for most of my life... i want to start from the beginning... if only i could be given a second chance
yes , same here, i have anxiety disorder for 4 months now, this is common symptom of me , and head gets hot many times a day and also shallow breathing , doctor told me to exercise and meditate , my medical report is normal though
For me it's like I start overthinking everything (for example if I'm taking french lessons I start questioning every sound or word thinking that they're weird and unusual even tho I'm fluent in it since I was 4yo) my brain sort of feels empty
I cried when I watched this. This is exactly how I feel daily. The struggle is real. I know I can be a better person but this brain fog keeps me functioning at 50%.
Hey guys I've had that for some time, maybe 2-3 years, but I got out of it! It won't last your whole life, start watching your diet, do more things you love, try to rest like it's your job, meditate and do yoga, connect with people, be active without overdoing anything, and most importantly, be patient. You will be better, your body had a crash and you need to recover! I feel 100% now! You got this! Life is worth it!
I feel so bad, feel slow and stupid sometimes. I can’t focus and find it hard to explain myself when I’m talking. I just want to be normal like everybody else.
School was always so easy for me. I considered myself a pretty naturally intelligent and mentally powerful person and I took pride in myself for it. Brain fog has completely deteriorated that, I’m working every day to fix it. I will never quit. I know how I used to be and I’ll never let go of that feeling until I’m back.
Not only do I relate but I have the same goal too, to be the person I once was because I know how capable I am. But I appreciate the fact that I found the video and to know that I'm not alone in this struggle.
look up this video and try it. "Neuroscientist: How To Boost Your Focus PERMANENTLY in Minutes". I believe meditation can have a good effect on focus. Another few things I am trying to increase focus is a supplement called "Creatine Monohydrate"(do you own research). Staying hydrated with water rather than sugary drinks along with a little bit of exercise seems to help me get out of brain fog as well. I'm no doctor but I'm sure everyone can benefit from a little bit of exercise and less sugar in their diet because high blood glucose or sugar is something that causes poor circulation.
@@zubairkhan72762sleep as much as you can, hit the gym, do a lot of walks in natural settings esp sunrise n sunset, meditate n involve in light hearted activities ( like things that bring joy), eat healthy food, keep away from negativity n if u can afford just take a long break/vacation n just do fun stuff
For me it also feels like I'm not in control of my movements or actions, even though i am, but it feels like I'm just watching my life go by in a movie or something that i have no control over. Brain fog and dissociation kinda go hand in hand, and is extremely aggravating dealing with
Does it mean I could have serious health issues or am I just trippin I been feeling like that for a while but far as I remember is when I started vaping and smoking thc pens a lot
I always say that my brain is like a library that I used to be able to reach for at anytime. Sometimes, now however, it's like they put a security gate up and I can only just touch the books
@@JusticeAnimeGeek i feel you sometimes people see me like if i was retarded because the way i act sometimes because is hard to talk and see into their eyes.
I’m not sure if I have brain fog but this is what I feel like most of the time, my brain is overloaded so my brain has to create more space for things I take priority in, therefore making me forget something that I could’ve just done a couple minutes ago, I get distracted easily. On top of all that, I’m also teaching myself how to code.
@@skylerpena6293 I don’t know either but I’m not in school as of rn for a long time and to me it feels like nothing there or I start talking to myself confused .
This video is so relatable, I have been suffering with brain fog for about a year now because of my depression, and it really is one of the most debilitating things I have ever gone through. Before the brain fog occured, I was much more witty, an avid reader, great student, and 10x more happy. But when the brain fog started all these things disappeared in a blink of an eye, it was so painful. When you are already suffering from anxiety and depression, life just becomes so much more incredibly difficult with this added trial. My heart goes out to you all, we can get through this together!
i dont think there's a solution to it. never gonna fix. you can only do this and that to feel better for sometime meaning for an hour by doin meditation? for 30 mins by talkin w someone so close to you? by goin on a date w your partner nd see yourself not talkin a single word nd gettin your partner bored but you prolly feel a bit good cus of their presence? but then again knowin that w this they wont stay w you for long? hanging out w friends but not talkin at all cus you dont remember anything that you can talk about you can only try to react to what they sayin then again weird reactions are comin all the way. my hairs fallen 70 percent already. i look uglier becus of my facial reactions which i don even have controls over anymore. the muscle tension on my face mostly make it look weird. ive forgotten everything i did in my past life except i know i was the life of party. gettin girls and friends was a matter of snap for me. i stay numb 24 hours till i fall i sleep nd wake up. my girl loosin interest in me slowly. now the fact that do this and that are the things that will make me feel at ease but not solve the problem will it? i didnt try takin any medication cus ik if i start takin medication or therapy or whatever i wont get back my vibe. the me! the real normal me! so whats the point of being someone else and doin this and that to feel just a bit calm? alright im being calm then what? i wont be able to be that old cool and funky, creative, thoughtful me will i? doin meditation? okay doin meditation will make me calm and feel relaxed but it aint gon bring back my personality will it? it breaks my heart that i will be livin my life thro calculation. i can never naturally do anything. it will feel like a script
@@ismailDvampire if you stop using internet , do dopamine detox and lift weight , your normal life will be back , I am experiencing some significant improvement right now.

Its geniunly make me feel i dont exist
My story with brain fog- I realised after almost 2-3 years that what was happening to me was a foggy brain. When I found myself drowned into this condition recently, I was totally shocked. Some incidents had mentally affected me which I was carrying along throughout this time unknowingly...totally out of consciousness. After the realisation, I started meditating. It helped me a lot. I was deeply thinking and revisiting my past for why and how I behaved in different situations... and that why couldn't I realise what was happening to me ...my mind..brain. Today randomly searched 'is blocked mind really a thing??'... came across this video which totally describes me... read comments of people sharing their experiences..I'm not alone... I wanted to share my experience... for me, meditation actually helped my mind to be present again at the moment...being more conscious than before... this is just the beginning... I want to dive deeply into my mind and be present in the moment. If you are reading this and going through the same circumstances... believe me ... start meditating and you will find your good old "You" again. I wish everyone undergoing this find their way out and stay happy, stay safe. May God bless everyone.
I used to have a really bad case of brain fog before but it's gotten better with a change in the food that I eat, posture, exercise, drinking tea, and making sure that I'm not deficient in any micronutrient by taking supplements. If you're still struggling, you got this!
Bro this is EXACTLY what i have done too and it’s cured it SIGNIFICANTLY. Over-thinking is the main cause for this, after i started meditating too, i have been able to stay in the present and feel normal again.
I was so well articulated and I’ve always been a top student. Now I’m really struggling with this. I don’t know how to turn my life around. It’s so painful.
Oh my gosh. Im in the same situation and it is so frustrating. It feels like i just want to give up in everything that im doing bc i feel like it wasnt my best even if im trying.
@Carolina Rosa I can feel u too...same situation I can't study anymore, please tell if ur situation is better now or not ... please help me.i am in trouble
I hate brain fog. For me it feels like my brain is drowning in heavy floods of water what supresses my memory, focus emotions and makes me feel very dissconnected to the world around me. Things which happend seconds ago feels like it happend years ago. I can hardly understand whats going on if I'm watching T.V. I forget as Im reading words. Its hard to keep up with conversations and coming up with the right words.. Anxiety and depression caused my brain fog and its such a joyless robotical way to live😢.
Holly Lockman This is the second time Ive had this. I first experienced this in 2011 but I took an anti depressant and it removed the fog over 8 months. The fog is back again and im hoping the anti depressants will work again as i did back then. I spoke to a doctor today and he said the chemical imbalance in the brain creates that foggy feeling in the brain but once everything is balanced everything should function back to normal. Are you getting any treatment for yours?
It's gratifying to see someone talking about this. I struggle with brain fog most of the time and most people don't understand what I'm going through. They see me doing chores and getting simple things done, so they don't see how hard it is to put thoughts together.
I got mine after the first tattoo :") But since i have anxiety i stressed myself up too much during the process of tattooing and my body probably thought that its time for u to dissociate After that i felt like i was disconnected from myself, not like depersonalization or derealization I was awake but without any emotions and it made my anxiety go on a panic mode (not panic attacks) and i searched everything i could to get what's happening to me Of course i filled myself with so many negative thoughts that after a month when my emotions came back i suddenly got brain fog and sińce then its... Its fucking hard. I dont want to live as a fucking zombie. This state is bullshit It's either trauma or dissociation or both really. the thing is in this state u don't really know what is 100 perc true Been to psychiatrist, didnt learned anything new that i didnt knew before Been to neurologist, nothing out of ordinary here but he said its probably anxiety just by looking at me Im not the kind of guy that gets depressed and im always trasy to fight for myself but when your BEST abilities are intelligence, emotions and creativity and suddenly they're brung to a halt because of some bullshit reaction to something THAT SHOULDN'T EVEN CAUSE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE This is bullshit and i think many of u would agree, most people gets brain fog after smoking weed I'm an abstinent so that is even more bullshit Anxiety can make your life miserable, basically all of a sudden But for anyone who got brain fog or DPR or PTSD, try soul retrieval and go to hypnotherapy I mean, after u pinpoint what event causes u to feel those symptoms There was a woman who had asthma and was into mindfulness to reduce the symptoms She came into contact with particioning shaman and after listening to he described her soul retrieval Its basically hypnosis but you're more connected to this process if you're practising mindfulness and shaman can acces your memories that caused trauma in your life Basically the part of u still lives im that moment when something happend You can think of this event and feel nothing but in reality u may just think of it constantly with your subconcious mind so it doesn't seem so important to u But the truth is every trauma can cause some kind of ilness or chemical imbalance in your brain this leasing to something like brain fog or asthma The thing is that when she was like... 5 yrs old? Something like that She was sitting in her attic scared while there was dust or toxic gas on the outside because there was an accident in a factory that produced "gas weapons" after ww2 (i mean it could've been just a factory that used this gas for something industrial idk, kids have a wide and crazy thoughts and we tend to make the memories more vivid and colorful. In this situation for worse) There she was, sitting, crying and choking on this toxicated air Shaman can talk with your past version of yourself, they call it "soul part Shaman wont stop until he makes your lost part relax and come with it t your present self So basically he finds the lost soul parts and brings it to you. Same thing like hypnosis but in hypnosis u do this by urself, talking with your own past self that experienced this traumatic event U can even do this at home but it will be harder keep that in mind especially if u have anxiety If u have anxiety then go on hypnotherapy and dont let your mind tell u how u feel You're the one who knows what u want to feel and how u want to feel If you feel anxious but its chronic u can even transform it into anger Get angry at the thoughts that brings u nothing but fear and anxiety Its easier that way to turn this emotion into courage for self improvement. And take your meds, preferably those who are good for stress U can try meds that slows your brain and then u may feel clear because your brain is always on a highest gear, its overheated so it's sluggish U can try meds that highens your serotonin levels for u to think positively for enough time to allow your body to heal and experienced what u blocked because of fear and anxiety And try yoga, healthy diet, exercise and mindfulness
Describes me EXACTLY. This is more than just anxiety. Nobody understands. I literally cannot speak/think for the majority of my days alive. I feel like I’m autistic. I miss being normal.
true. The worst thing is people who haven't had it (most people) literally can't understand it and think it's nothing bad even doctors don't give a damn.
That blurryness when reading texts hits so close to home. Brain fog affectively changed my life forever. I used to be somewhat of a promising student in high school. But ever since I got affected by brain fog, the decline was sharp. Day to day studying felt like a monumental task simply because I had to actively put in so much effort to understand even a basic idea or sentence. My grades started dropping and I never truly recovered from it. I managed to graduate from a private university but I always feel sad thinking what could have been if I had never fallen victim to it.
@@alienx8188 unfortunately yes and its been over a decade since I first got it. Although I have learned to work around it to some extent. But I still have to actively put an effort to focus on the topic at hand while studying. And also I can retain very little of what I learn during study sessions. So it's going back and studying the same things over and over again to make sure it sticks this time. It's frustrating and exhausting but I have to make do with the hand that I've been dealt with
@@crystalmendoza1771 my memory loss is so grave that I could forget something I did in a specific day, I can’t stay focused on some things (probably cause of tiktok) but I forget a lot of things and it feels like my brain is overloading with stuff, I only remember things I take priority in and my brain has to make space for that. On top of that I’m teaching myself coding.
then how should i tell my fam that me being dysfunctional is because my brain developed a trauma response from the trauma they've caused and now im just doing almost everything absent-mindedly and have no memories of it, they'll just tell me that im making excuses it's not like i want this to happen to me
Does anyone here also struggle with bad eyesight? I find that my brainfog bets much much worse when I strain my eyes. We will beat this horrible issue.
@@majed3245 I've just come to the realisation that my eyesight played a HUGE part. Lookup Binocular Vision Dysfunction. Also, try fasting or eating fats in the morning or early throughout the day. Literally try spending a day in your room, with low light, straining your eyes as little as possible. See how it makes you feel and let me know. I want to help you, because I know how shit this is.
@Pipgit Ask them to try eye dilating drops. This will give you a much more accurate prescription. Also, follow the instructions in my comment below and let me know how it all goes. Good luck.
If you read this, just know that this is real and you are not alone. It was so comforting to watch this video and realize that someone knows this exactly what that is, for it is so difficult to describe to others. They see you as you are fine, and only you yourself know that something is off. Thank you for bravery in posting this video.
This has been my life for the last 24 years 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Two thirds of my life have been blur. It is funny learning about your own past through family members that remember more about yourself than you do. I am praying that to all those that suffer from this issue shall see the light at the end of this tunnel and that we stay strong in the struggle to God be the glory.
@@Raptor269 If I only knew I could tell you. All I can say is that it started when I was 12 years old. It was as if I woke up one day and it was here and it never really went away. When I was younger I was really competitive in sports. Specifically baseball and soccer. My father coached me and I could remember a morning of a game when I told him that my head does not feel right. It was as if a haze that entered my brain and it never went away. During the initial phases of this brain fog, I dealt with a lot of fatigue and lethargy. Learning and focus was a lot harder and at one point during my early years of dealing with this it was as almost if I had forgot how to walk and literally had to visualize myself taking one foot in front of the other in order to be able to stay upright. Nobody really seemed to understand what I was going through and my parents were doing the best they could. They sent me to main stream doctors and an ENT specialist told my parents that I would eventually grow out of this. Well that never happened, I have been on medication for migraines, anxiety, depression, asthma and ADD. Cat Scans, MRI's, EEG's and EKG's revealed nothing abnormal. By the time I was a senior in High School I started to have panic attacks and at that point my parents sent me to see a psychiatrist which ultimately led me with a performance anxiety diagnosis and a prescription of medication that ultimately did nothing more for me than made me extremely tired if I did not take them correctly. After taking the medication for many months and seeing limited to absolutely no results I was convinced that this was not what was wrong with me and quit the meds cold turkey. That was a big mistake. I was left with a lingering headache for months that finally went away but it took a long time. I remember one night staying up all night because I was off the medicine and it messed up my sleep cycle and I saw an informercial on television about some nutritional supplements and one of the testimonials was that the individual felt like their brain came alive. With that testimonial resonating inside of my head I went ahead and ordered the supplements which led me on a path to naturopathic medicine. Upon looking up the supplements I also found out about Systematic Candida which could cause brain fog. I researched Candida and one of the number one solutions was diet modification. Specifically consuming a sugar free diet was one of the ways to handle a candida infection. I had always had massive sugar cravings when I was younger and did not think anything other then I am growing young man. I did not really pay any attention to how awful I would feel after consuming simple carbohydrates and sugar. It was my first year of college when I tried the candida diet and I can honestly say I had never felt so good in my entire life. My energy levels increased to a point that I had not felt in a long time and my focus was a little bit better. If I ever relapsed and consumed sugar I would feel terrible again. The most noticeable difference in the diet modification was my energy levels. It seemed as though I would feel better the less I ate. The brain fog unfortunately never really went away but was just slightly better. I have learned even now that I have to be careful how I eat. I am soon going to try extended water fasting to see if that proves any successful results. It seems as though I have tried every supplement in the book with limited results. A few thoughts that have come to mind is heavy metal toxicity, Lyme disease, Food intolerances, leaky gut syndrome, and chronic fatigue syndrome. I have had Lyme disease test and it was negative. Medicine for ADD seemed to reduce fatigue and helped focus but never really cleared the fog. With no clear correlations other than the direct effect of feeling a little better with a low carb diet my next goals are the extended water fast and then transitioning into a Keto Diet. Brain fog is just really weird as I have never done any recreational drugs or ever drank alcohol in my life yet sugars and carbs seem to be my kryptonite. Praying that this too shall pass. In the mean time I must keep fighting and searching.
this describes it so well, and manages to explain everything i’ve never managed to verbalise. no one who doesn’t suffer from it will ever fully understand what it’s like for us, because they have nothing to compare it to, and that’s so hard in an ableist society. it’s comforting to know that there are others out there who suffer from it, and i’m not the only one. it turns into people speaking and i know they’re speaking but it sounds like they’re speaking a language i don’t understand and i constantly zone out and it’s so hard to explain to people
I can now confirm that I've had brain fog for a very long time. It's limited my social ability to connect with people and make new friends while maintaining contact with them. It makes things as simple as understanding a conversation and engaging in one a daunting task. I often find it very difficult gathering my own thoughts (or even having thoughts) and expressing them through speech. I just recently decided to start reading more and listening to podcasts and talk shows more often to improve my social and communication skills. I also think it impairs cognitive abilities in a way because I sometimes find that I can't understand & clearly express myself. I sometimes think I'm dumb. Life has gotten a bit worse for me especially as I have anxiety. But I'm trying a few things to see how it goes in the next few years.
This is so "me" on many days. I didn't realize there were other people like. My story of being this way is so sureal and must be unbelievable for "normal" people. I feel like I've been losing my mind, with no way to get it back.
Or mixing up words and not necessarily realizing it “Hey jordan, could you hand me the refrigerator” My sister Jordan laughs as she hands me the remote “What’s so funny?” “Remote lauren. It’s a remote. Not a refrigerator” Makes you feel like an incompetent child
Yes! I do this often. Brain fog is a side effect of one or more of my autoimmune disorders. This is only a portion of the brain fog, but the it's in my top 2 of how it will effect me in front of someone who doesn't know that I have illnesses that now also effect my memory.
@Joe R I am perfectly fine now. It was all because of this pandemic. I am a pretty sporty and energetic guy. And I had not done any physical activity in months. So the lack of oxygen and overeating made my brain all slow and foggy. Exercised and played a lot of football coupled with good diet and I was good to go. And I also reckon what caused the fog was exposure to excessive screen time. So I cut out on my gaming too.
Felt like a severe concussion to me. I had it acutely for a few months after covid. Genuinely felt like I was brain damaged. It got better over time, and now I don't suffer from it anymore. My heart goes out to anyone dealing with this.
thank you to everyone in the comments as well as those who made this video, I've been dealing with this for years and it's only gotten worse. It feels so much better knowing that I'm not alone. Love you all and I hope you all figure it out
Sydney Bolduc i hope you make a recovery from it, i myself have figured my case is getting worst as well. Probably because of my anxiety but either way im sure we’ll all find a way out of it eventually.
@@snoopywoop4674 thank you 💕 I hope you do as well. I do suffer with an anxiety disorder that comes and goes in severity, but the brain fog is always present. Take care of yourself!
Do u feel like this 24/7 all day or does it come and go Bc I don’t wanna feel like this forveer Bc I have had it for liek 5 days morning till night and I don’t wanna feel like this forverr so will I atleast get a break for a few days or atleast a few hours?
@@Raptor269 for the most part I've been feeling this way 24/7 for the past 6 months, and many times in the two years prior. Some days I'll have a moment/s of clarity which makes me feel hopeful that my brain isnt fundamentally broken, but even then it's hard. I'm sorry you've been experiencing this too and I can't determine how long your fog will last, I hope it all clears up for you soon.
@@sydneybolduc8870 have u tried anything to get rid of it I have heard things like exercise eating healthy meditating and stuff like that could help get rid of it so have u actually tried to do anything to get rid of it?
Hey all I’ve been suffering with brain fog for a while now. Some things that have helped my symptoms, addressing my B12 and vit D deficiencies. A strict low inflammatory diet (you can do a low FODMAP diet to test what foods are making an impact” Cardiovascular exercise Breath work and meditation Accepting that I am suffering with something without judgment or frustration and allowing myself to be me even when I am not functioning at 100% Some days I am still whacked but most days I’m almost normal. It certainly helps reframe my perspective on life and how grateful I am to be able to engage in it. Big love to you all - do what you can to help yourselves first! 🙏💛
@@samiddhbiswas3927 look up FODMAP diet. But generally speaking avoid processed foods, condiments table sauces etc, excessive chillies, onions, garlic, also things like raw fish that can upset the balance of microbes in your gut. If you type in brain fog into YT you should find more helpful videos too. Another big factor is trying not to stress or worry to much about it and life in general as this makes it worse. I haven’t had any noticeable brain fog now for 6 months mainly through diet more than anything.
@social justice warrior does not seeing far objects clearly as well as not being able to focus on near objects too a sign of brain fog?I am confused whether it's an eye problem or brain fog?Does brain fog go away sometimes and come again?For me i get this noot seeing clearly all the time ,,when i close my eyes,i can feel no problem ,i feel normal.please reply,do people with brain fog experience it or i am wrong and it's completely an eye problem ,from your personal experience!
On the more severe days i have trouble driving, working, talking, etc. At first i thought i was developing some kind of dementia. To anyone who suffers with this, the trick is to accept the fog and know that it’s not permanent.
Hi there, I absolutley feeel the same way. You nailed it with the thoughts of have dementia. It is terrifying to be honest. I have good days, and bad days. It's at the point now that i relish in the good days.
HI. I take 3 small doses of prednisone a day to counteract mental fog (morning before breakfast, after lunch and in the evening after dinner). I have Hashimoto's. I believe brain fog is related to Atpo...
hey there if you see this comment you helped me accept the fog because you said its not permanent thank you for your words these people that have desame illness makes me feel comforted
Oh wow, so I've been feeling like this for years and I didn't know it had a name. I thought it was just me being extremely introverted and feeling burnt out from the smallest amount of mental or social stimulation, that clocking out of conversations and being forgetful was just a natural response. It was like that feeling right before you fall asleep, being numb and unable to think or even feel emotions. I think when I get out of my brain fog, I was often overwhelmed, being sad or self-critical over my life, like my work, and things that I couldn't get up to do. That would exhaust me and send me right back into another brain fog. I knew I was depressed but I didn't know I was borderline derealizing...
Every day for me is brain foggy. It’s super frustrating bc it affects EVERYTHING. I’ve been working on my health for many years now and I find that my brain symptoms in particular are some of the most resistant to healing. I appreciate the mention of questioning everything you say and being concerned with how it comes across to others. Brain fog can make it so difficult to speak with ease and confidence. Things so easily taken for granted become so hard for us who suffer brain fog.
I feel like it affects my vision as well I look at everything in around and everything is blurry almost like I can’t get out of my head space or something. I think it’s depth of vision like when you stare through your finger and can see through it but i can only see my finger and I can’t see everything in detail.
Exactly the same and my doctor said I should try glasses, tried glasses, and it was in hd but still blurry like my brain refuses to acknowledge or pay attention to what's in front of me. It's blurry and hd at the same time if that makes sense, so I think it's not my eyes themselves but either the optic nerve or the occipital lobe or something. But every so often like a few times a year, I can see perfectly for a few minutes, I can read signs that's far away and can process the information I'm seeing, so I know it's not permanent
i’ve been feeling this way for a year now. i have been so stressed out and lost in my mind while also repeatedly doing things but i never actually stopped to search and learn that i am not the only one that feels like this, and i’m glad i just did.
Tired but can't sleep, sleepy even after a full night of sleep, like total exhausion mental and physical,, it makes you angry at yourself and at your life
So far this is the best description I have found. I have had MS for over 20 years. It would come and go in the past but now, it’s constant. I would rather go back to my worse physical symptoms than this. The other aspect is being so totally overwhelmed in social settings. The noise, the chatter, everything can cause such an extreme feeling in me. I also have severe tinnitus which is making it worse. Thank you for this video.
Really well explained, thank you. I had a really bad brain fog and some other symptoms as well. I thought I go crazy sometimes and was desperate. It took me over a year to figure out I maybe suffer from vitamin D deficiency..and the tests showed I was. Since then I take vitamin D pills. My vit d level doubled within three months and the brain fog lifted a little. 5 months after the diagnosis I still get foggy on bad days but it's gotten much better.. and I hope it never gets that bad again..
Charlene Rojas I’m also at 36% I’ve been taking vitamin D as well and I’ve recently started feeling brain fog. I think I need to change my diet and try to exercise.
Ive been suffering for the past 2 years. Hangover feeling, panic attacks, headaches. Went for vit D and b12 shots. 3 days later the veil is lifted. Feel normal again and my night blindness disappeared
My brain fog came from gluten. You should have talked also about the ammount of energy that we spend daily, trying to be normal, that drives us to a depression state of mind or just a chronic fatigue one.
What a beautiful & simple way to explain one of the biggest symptoms of full body-brain inflammation. To hear someone else explain back to me what I’ve lived through before, made me cry my eyes out🙏🏼
Im honestly glad that I found this video. Im really scared, anxious and in denial of my state. Everything she said is what I am currently in. I know that its not normal but whenever I try to open it up to others, they all say that its normal and its not really an issue. Even writing this comment is hard because I can barely string out words to express what I am feeling. I hope we all heal from :cc
same i really do feel you i was diagnosed with major depression 4 years ago and altough it has gotten better the brain fog has not left at all, there are very RARE days i feel completely aware and clear in my head. i had to think of almost every word i wrote in this comment for example i feel retarted if im being honest, like actually fucking stupid
Thank you for explaining this so well. It's really difficult to live with this, and it's so hard to find a cause. Maybe it's just complete burnout from life, stress and the constant overstimulation that comes with the world we live in today.
my mind problem is when I get ready to say something, I can't think of the word but I can try to tell you the meaning of the word. Then the word may come to me very irritating
I've been feeling this for so long and the more you said the more I realized how wrong I've been feeling. I can't sleep and I've just been up, knowing something is wrong but not feeling anything wrong. I feel like I've "retreated" into the back of my brain and have little control of myself anymore. This has probably been here for years but I just couldn't tell. I feel like there is more I could say but I can't think of anything else right now, and I hate how this comment is just random thoughts put together.
Francesca Visca process of elimination and extensive tests, but I am having more tests with a new neurologist next month. Never had my back scanned and I also suspect I’ve got damaged/slipped discs
And the thinking through mud is what is called “fibro fog” and I also get what is called aphasia - I can’t find words and have to describe it to others to get the word. Incredibly frustrating.
I entirely relate to this. It is horrifying, except from the memory losses I develop negative thoughts all the time. The last two years have been a nightmare at the university
It has been two years since I've graduated. I am not sure if you face brain fogs, or anything similar. Personally, I managed to get rid of the symptoms
@@nappy851 In my situation everything was related with stress/ unconscious stress to be precise. Everyday I was stressing myself unconsciously, which led towards forgetting to breathe (tight body muscles/ fomo attitude) while thinking, listening to others or even trying to concentrate. What played an important role, was realising and reminding myself to relax my muscles and breathe more often. It actually took a few months to come back to normal. Additionally, my attention span appears to be reduced comparing to what it used to be. I guess that's how my brain developed itself in order to improve my antistressor mechanism.
This school year is gonna go bad. :( this year I forgot everything I learned last year. My teachers even noticed when they ask me questions I zone out.
I am sorry for everyone I was ever frustrated with if they were slower to understand than I thought reasonable. This video made me understand the many symptoms of brain fog, and that sometimes we just have to extend extra grace and patience so they can understand and have time to respond appropriately.
I feel like brain fog is a really misunderstood issue and very stigmatized in our fast-paced society. The faster it goes, the harder it is for us brain foggers to keep up! Plus, it’s an invisible illness. You can’t tell just by looking at someone how well their brain functions. I’m glad this video helped raise awareness for you and helped you to realize how important it is to be compassionate and patient towards people like me who suffer brain fog. Thanks for your kind comment 🙏😊♥️
It feels like there’s a concrete wall around my brain, I slur my words and stuff up pronunciations, I forget everything and I feel like crap. It’s all mental for me.
@social justice warrior does not seeing far objects clearly as well as not being able to focus on near objects too a sign of brain fog?I am confused whether it's an eye problem or brain fog?Does brain fog go away sometimes and come again?For me i get this noot seeing clearly all the time ,,when i close my eyes,i can feel no problem ,i feel normal.please reply,do people with brain fog experience it or i am wrong and it's completely an eye problem ,from your personal experience!
I had same problem since I was 15. The panic attacks, the shaking, paranoia, unable to concentrate, unable to think, even unable to speak at times. I felt like I was going completely insane. And became suicidal. If you going through this you not alone. I understand how you feel.
I had constantly brain fog when i was in depression. It happen when i'm super super stress, along with depersonalization. These are mechanism from the brain to help you seperate yourself from the cause and the pain of the stress you're facing.
Ive been going through this for the past three months and I act so boring around my best friend and I feel like she’s gonna leave me because I used to be more outgoing around her but now I just can’t think of anything to do or talk about with her.
Sorry to hear that. But does brain fog feels like there's something squeezing your head especially at the backhead and it feels like the oxygen doesn't reach your head?. Please answer it !! I've been having for 3 years!!😔
@@hello123q yes when there is an awkward point in a social setting I sometimes get that feeling and it won’t go away because I can’t stop thinking about how awkward or boring I am, and how much they probably don’t want to be there or how much I’d rather be laying in bed, it’s like literally painful. I am honestly doing much better now tho because I got vulnerable w my best friend and told her how I was feeling at that time and she understood because she has had similar experiences, but currently we are as close as ever so if you are experiencing that feeling just know that it will get better and maybe try to tell the people around you how you feel. If they don’t reciprocate or they judge you than they are a bad friend. If you need to make friends I know it is hard and it seems like everyone already has their people and and you wouldn’t want to impose on their friend group, but honestly you just have to fake it till you make it. Like, pretending that you’re confident enough will literally make you confident. Also make sure that you are happy with yourself first, (like you are able to enjoy alone time) before you become dependent on others, and never feel like you are missing out on something if you simply just would rather be alone. Sorry this is a lot but if anyone is reading this I hope it helps 😙😙

I feel confused, I feel like im not the one whos controlling myself, like im just watching myself doing something. I always cant find the words i want to explain myself
10000000% I was thinking about that last week. I feel alone. I have lots of friend and close ones but they don't understand and I'm tired of explaining myself which gets very frustrating so I just sent all of them this video.
I have been trying to look for explanation of my forgetfulness of simple tasks, dates, Unexplained errors, just almost everything explained in this video. I constantly have to question myself about the statements to friends may have been misinterpreted. Poor concentration at work and university. I used to have a very sharp memory. I just don't know what happened to me. How can I get out of this? It's affecting my work and create a bad perception about you being incompetent or not being detail oriented.

All the time she was explaining I was just saying omg, everything thing is me. My poor neighbors every time they invite me for a dinner I will turned it down just because I don’t want to go and be struggling with words. I went to a party and was handed the microphone just to make a short statement things that I would do so easy back in time. I just mumbled around words till I realized I was really saying anything meaningful, I just became blank. That was the last day I drank alcohol a cigarette I felt so bad and embarrassed. I blamed it on the alcohol that made it hard for me to think clearly. Few minutes ago I had a call, was talking to a friend, I wanted to say middle of next month, it came out July of next month. She paused for while she must have realized I was off with what I was saying. Though I corrected it. After the call I say I should look up cloudy head on TH-cam and boom, someone was telling my whole life exactly. I have had this very long time without knowing I had a problem. Now I remember so sometimes when I talk with people they twist their faces as to show that I am straining to say say something. I used to wonder now i know I was struggling that is why the had that facial expression
This is the most accurate description I've found so far to what I experience every day. It's just so frustrating when your brain just does not want to cooperate with you
Hey, people who struggle with brain fog (like me), you might have candida (like me), now when I heal that, have an appropriate diet and take natural antifungus like essential oils and supplements, I almost don't have this brain fog. Please do some research about that, this may be the root of your problem. It's save me of suicide
Brian fog and gut health are directly correlated. I would advise everyone here to go to a professional colema clinic. If you start there the road to recovery will not be far.
@@OP-xi1hv no enema won't help. the basic idea is to detoxify the gut (by special drugs like GI Detox) and to regain "good bacteria" (drugs like Probiocsin). but it will work only IF; -you get lucky. most of the treatment drugs and plans are rubbish.
This is a very good description. It's so difficult to explain to others, especially when you're affected by it. I'm now one year in with Long-Covid and aside from feeling physically like a corpse, this is the most difficult aspect to deal with.
I was trying to figure out why i felt like I’m in some kind of trance every time when I try to talk to people I can’t I find the right words to express how I’m feeling I’ve been having this ever since a year ago It sometimes it comes on and off I thought I was the only one who had it good to know I’m not alone ☺️
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. Since having COVID 2x, I've gone from having a photographic memory and speaking eloquently, to knowing the words I want to say but having them "disappear" or to being totally unable to speak them coherently, among other very frustrating issues.
Wtf😔 I’ve had this for years and I never knew others had this problem, brain fog should be taken more serious. I can never remember what point I’m trying to make and always find it hard to express myself. God bless anyone with this problem I hope you find a solution because I know I need to find one too🙏❤️ we’re all in this together:)
I remember watching this video about couple of months ago and relating so badly to everything she said... And now... After finally going through this for two years, I've come out of my brain fog and pain on my own. (Ok I've also found a friend to discuss everything with) It feels amazing because at some point, I had believed that I might have to spend my whole life in this manner. But I finally understood myself and came out of this. I'm not completely perfect yet as whenever my mind anticipates something terrible and very overwhelming coming my way, it tends to shut down and become numb again. But at least, I can confirm that now I remember what it was like to connect to my surroundings properly. I hope that everyone else can someday find a solution to this issue too. ❤️
The blurry vision being shown throughout the video put me into shock. I wear eyeglasses, but I always seem to see the world in a way that I can't seem to focus my vision. It's as if I'm in a constant state of sleep paralysis, but you're still able to move your body. Exactly like the description at 0:19 where I seem to not have a sense of physical existence. This video was an amazing interpretation of brain fog and I'm glad to know that their is description for such a confusing experience of current life.
I honestly didn't know this was something other people felt. I thought I was tired. But how could I be tired with 8 hours of sleep every night? So I just type in youtube " feel like my brain is asleep" and this is what came up and this feels so relatable. Glad to know I'm not alone
I got mine after the first tattoo :") But since i have anxiety i stressed myself up too much during the process of tattooing and my body probably thought that its time for u to dissociate After that i felt like i was disconnected from myself, not like depersonalization or derealization I was awake but without any emotions and it made my anxiety go on a panic mode (not panic attacks) and i searched everything i could to get what's happening to me Of course i filled myself with so many negative thoughts that after a month when my emotions came back i suddenly got brain fog and sińce then its... Its fucking hard. I dont want to live as a fucking zombie. This state is bullshit It's either trauma or dissociation or both really. the thing is in this state u don't really know what is 100 perc true Been to psychiatrist, didnt learned anything new that i didnt knew before Been to neurologist, nothing out of ordinary here but he said its probably anxiety just by looking at me Im not the kind of guy that gets depressed and im always trasy to fight for myself but when your BEST abilities are intelligence, emotions and creativity and suddenly they're brung to a halt because of some bullshit reaction to something THAT SHOULDN'T EVEN CAUSE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE This is bullshit and i think many of u would agree, most people gets brain fog after smoking weed I'm an abstinent so that is even more bullshit Anxiety can make your life miserable, basically all of a sudden But for anyone who got brain fog or DPR or PTSD, try soul retrieval and go to hypnotherapy I mean, after u pinpoint what event causes u to feel those symptoms There was a woman who had asthma and was into mindfulness to reduce the symptoms She came into contact with particioning shaman and after listening to he described her soul retrieval Its basically hypnosis but you're more connected to this process if you're practising mindfulness and shaman can acces your memories that caused trauma in your life Basically the part of u still lives im that moment when something happend You can think of this event and feel nothing but in reality u may just think of it constantly with your subconcious mind so it doesn't seem so important to u But the truth is every trauma can cause some kind of ilness or chemical imbalance in your brain this leasing to something like brain fog or asthma The thing is that when she was like... 5 yrs old? Something like that She was sitting in her attic scared while there was dust or toxic gas on the outside because there was an accident in a factory that produced "gas weapons" after ww2 (i mean it could've been just a factory that used this gas for something industrial idk, kids have a wide and crazy thoughts and we tend to make the memories more vivid and colorful. In this situation for worse) There she was, sitting, crying and choking on this toxicated air Shaman can talk with your past version of yourself, they call it "soul part Shaman wont stop until he makes your lost part relax and come with it t your present self So basically he finds the lost soul parts and brings it to you. Same thing like hypnosis but in hypnosis u do this by urself, talking with your own past self that experienced this traumatic event U can even do this at home but it will be harder keep that in mind especially if u have anxiety If u have anxiety then go on hypnotherapy and dont let your mind tell u how u feel You're the one who knows what u want to feel and how u want to feel If you feel anxious but its chronic u can even transform it into anger Get angry at the thoughts that brings u nothing but fear and anxiety Its easier that way to turn this emotion into courage for self improvement. And take your meds, preferably those who are good for stress U can try meds that slows your brain and then u may feel clear because your brain is always on a highest gear, its overheated so it's sluggish U can try meds that highens your serotonin levels for u to think positively for enough time to allow your body to heal and experienced what u blocked because of fear and anxiety And try yoga, healthy diet, exercise and mindfulness
@COOLBIAN57 sorry to hear it, i only got it after panic attacks coupled with depersonalization ect. 20years later I still have it but none of the other issuse besides a bit of generalised anxiety, and I've tried everything nutrient supplement fad studied and studied. I'm now just starting lexapro but only at 5mg. I do believe anxiety and or inflammation is at the core. Will let you know how i go in a few weeks if your interested.
Finally I found a video describing exactly everything that I've experienced lately. I struggled to express my thoughts through words and constantly blamed myself for not being witty/smart enough. I tried my best to keep up with what people were saying but ended up feeling stupid. I've been like this for 1 month and still haven't figured out how to fix it.
Thank you! Seriously thank you for making this video. I hace had this for years!!! No one understand what I mean. It’s like I’m disconnected from the world, almost like I’m in a dream. My vision is affected, like I see fine have never needed glasses at all but have like a disconnect tunnel vision where I’m affected by certain lighting. I can still do things like I can go to the gym and work just fine but then moment I do any mental task like studying it feels like I have done a Marathon and literally need to lie down after. I cannot listen to people very well. Im not being disrespectful but I genuinely struggle to comprehend more than a few sentences at a time. Like you said I have good and bad days but it’s always there. After every medical test possible I have never been diagnosed with anything. It’s like it’s a new illness that hasn’t been noticed yet. I hope anyone like me can build a community in order to express and share our feelings. :)
I've Brain-Fog since 2017. I had a panic attack at the beginning and thought I was terminally ill. It was very depressing and I and others didn't understood what was happening to me. It was terrible! I don't know how, but it took me six months to realize that I had brain fog. I accepted that and learned to deal with BF and PA. And yet I wanted my clear consciousness back. So I searched for information about my symptoms and found hundreds of possible causes. Then I found and read a book on panic attacks and how to stop them (lots of good tips, but not for everyone). And once, in the evening, I was home alone. I read the book and for a second experienced the clarity in my brain that I had before April 2017. I felt so happy and got hope, but I didn't understood why it happened while reading. And today I found a video about brain fog and there was a tip - read books. Well that's the answer (for me). It's obvious because you're on social media too much and you lose focus. And in 2017, before the incident, I was online too often and slept too little :(

Thanks, I’m willing to try anything . I’m back to work at my IT job, and it’s a scary thing knowing a company is depending on my expertise when I can barely get dressed in the morning. I’m gonna end up losing my job
I first off want to say thank you for posting this . Ive developed this in September of 2020 right after taking a flouroquinolone antibiotic . I have not been the same since . Some days are definitely better than others . I completely feel what you're going through. I wish you the utmost peace .
The antibiotic has disrupted the microbiome in your gut, research the brain and gut health connection. You stomach has millions and millions of neurons just like your brain, in a sense it is like a second brain, it explain why you get "gut feelings" about situations. The problem with antibiotics is they remove the good AND the bad bacteria in your digestive tract, and if you've had your spleen removed this can make it difficult for your body to find balance. The spleen carries an entire back up microbiome for your gut and intestines that your body uses like a backup storage in case your gut flora is disturbed or eliminated
what an eloquent, expressive, and clear way to describe something so ephemeral and confusing. i feel the brain fog and i feel the clarity of this explanation at the same time. thank you ❤✨
Thank you so much for making a video of this. I've been struggling REALLY badly lately in a way I never have dealt with in terms of brain fog and it's made me so anxious. I typically have no issue thinking clearly, but I am so exhausted from this lately.
I had intense brain fog a year ago because anxiety disorder and OCD I was so stressed about it, I thought I would never be like before, but now I'm better than before, sometime i forget things but I'm getting better, maybe one day I'll go away completely! + I pray 🤲 Yall get better too 😭
I was so quick and witty, after a long depressive period everything became slow. I am so glad that I bumped into this video. It brought out every aspect of what I go through everyday.
I feel this every single day, like my brain is in a constant state of dull pressure. I can't remember anything. I can't process instructions at work and perform tasks after hearing them once. I feel spaced out all the time, like I'm living in a dream. My life has no purpose. I have no purpose, and no energy to deal with this. I just want to sleep all day, but I never feel rested.
This is exactly what I have been feeling I go on calls with my gf with sometimes not even talking for a good 10 min because I am genuinely not thinking about anything I find it hard to talk to people and I usually don’t reply for hours apon end I can’t start or really keep a convo going anymore and usually feel pretty stupid about anything I try to talk about it’s made me feel very unmotivated and I genuinely feel like my personality is slipping away I sleep all day to ignore reality because I feel like I’m going to screw everything up I can’t think properly and mostly think about what’s wrong with me I’ve been feeling this recently and don’t know what to do
I use to suffer similar symptoms. As a writer, getting myself to create ideas and type something was so hard some days. Exercise, good sleep, and drinking lots of water changed my life. Creatine is also another game changer. Mind stays clear all day long.

look up this video and try it. "Neuroscientist: How To Boost Your Focus PERMANENTLY in Minutes". I believe meditation can have a good effect on focus. Another few things I am trying to increase focus is a supplement called "Creatine Monohydrate"(do you own research). Staying hydrated with water rather than sugary drinks along with a little bit of exercise seems to help me get out of brain fog as well. I'm no doctor but I'm sure everyone can benefit from a little bit of exercise and less sugar in their diet because high blood glucose or sugar is something that causes poor circulation.

Brain fog is hell when you have to go to school.
I’m not sure if I have brain fog but this is what I feel like most of the time, my brain is overloaded so my brain has to create more space for things I take priority in, therefore making me forget something that I could’ve just done a couple minutes ago, I get distracted easily.

@Someone 333 that's exactly what i am suffering
This video is so relatable, I have been suffering with brain fog for about a year now because of my depression, and it really is one of the most debilitating things I have ever gone through. Before the brain fog occured, I was much more witty, an avid reader, great student, and 10x more happy. But when the brain fog started all these things disappeared in a blink of an eye, it was so painful. When you are already suffering from anxiety and depression, life just becomes so much more incredibly difficult with this added trial. My heart goes out to you all, we can get through this together!
Surprisingly I just found now that what I am suffering through is really a thing and it happens with a lot of people.
i dont think there's a solution to it. never gonna fix. you can only do this and that to feel better for sometime meaning for an hour by doin meditation? for 30 mins by talkin w someone so close to you? by goin on a date w your partner nd see yourself not talkin a single word nd gettin your partner bored but you prolly feel a bit good cus of their presence? but then again knowin that w this they wont stay w you for long? hanging out w friends but not talkin at all cus you dont remember anything that you can talk about you can only try to react to what they sayin then again weird reactions are comin all the way. my hairs fallen 70 percent already. i look uglier becus of my facial reactions which i don even have controls over anymore. the muscle tension on my face mostly make it look weird. ive forgotten everything i did in my past life except i know i was the life of party. gettin girls and friends was a matter of snap for me. i stay numb 24 hours till i fall i sleep nd wake up. my girl loosin interest in me slowly. now the fact that do this and that are the things that will make me feel at ease but not solve the problem will it? i didnt try takin any medication cus ik if i start takin medication or therapy or whatever i wont get back my vibe. the me! the real normal me! so whats the point of being someone else and doin this and that to feel just a bit calm? alright im being calm then what? i wont be able to be that old cool and funky, creative, thoughtful me will i? doin meditation? okay doin meditation will make me calm and feel relaxed but it aint gon bring back my personality will it? it breaks my heart that i will be livin my life thro calculation. i can never naturally do anything. it will feel like a script

My story with brain fog- I realised after almost 2-3 years that what was happening to me was a foggy brain. When I found myself drowned into this condition recently, I was totally shocked. Some incidents had mentally affected me which I was carrying along throughout this time unknowingly...totally out of consciousness. After the realisation, I started meditating. It helped me a lot. I was deeply thinking and revisiting my past for why and how I behaved in different situations... and that why couldn't I realise what was happening to me ...my mind..brain. Today randomly searched 'is blocked mind really a thing??'... came across this video which totally describes me... read comments of people sharing their experiences..I'm not alone... I wanted to share my experience... for me, meditation actually helped my mind to be present again at the moment...being more conscious than before... this is just the beginning... I want to dive deeply into my mind and be present in the moment. If you are reading this and going through the same circumstances... believe me ... start meditating and you will find your good old "You" again. I wish everyone undergoing this find their way out and stay happy, stay safe. May God bless everyone.

I used to have a really bad case of brain fog before but it's gotten better with a change in the food that I eat, posture, exercise, drinking tea, and making sure that I'm not deficient in any micronutrient by taking supplements. If you're still struggling, you got this!
Bro this is EXACTLY what i have done too and it’s cured it SIGNIFICANTLY. Over-thinking is the main cause for this, after i started meditating too, i have been able to stay in the present and feel normal again.

I hate brain fog. For me it feels like my brain is drowning in heavy floods of water what supresses my memory, focus emotions and makes me feel very dissconnected to the world around me. Things which happend seconds ago feels like it happend years ago. I can hardly understand whats going on if I'm watching T.V. I forget as Im reading words. Its hard to keep up with conversations and coming up with the right words.. Anxiety and depression caused my brain fog and its such a joyless robotical way to live😢.
MsPattyRice 84 does anything help you? I have this too I think f rom anxiety
Holly Lockman This is the second time Ive had this. I first experienced this in 2011 but I took an anti depressant and it removed the fog over 8 months. The fog is back again and im hoping the anti depressants will work again as i did back then. I spoke to a doctor today and he said the chemical imbalance in the brain creates that foggy feeling in the brain but once everything is balanced everything should function back to normal. Are you getting any treatment for yours?
MsPattyRice 84 thank you! Does your head feel heavy/fuzzy or dizzy with the brain fog too?
exactly how i feel wow
@@hollylockman9363 mine does
Feels like you just exist without any clear goals or thoughts.
It's gratifying to see someone talking about this. I struggle with brain fog most of the time and most people don't understand what I'm going through. They see me doing chores and getting simple things done, so they don't see how hard it is to put thoughts together.
I wish I could get rid of this so badly
me too.....
Do you think insulin resistance has something to do with it?
I got mine after the first tattoo :")
But since i have anxiety i stressed myself up too much during the process of tattooing and my body probably thought that its time for u to dissociate
After that i felt like i was disconnected from myself, not like depersonalization or derealization
I was awake but without any emotions and it made my anxiety go on a panic mode (not panic attacks) and i searched everything i could to get what's happening to me
Of course i filled myself with so many negative thoughts that after a month when my emotions came back i suddenly got brain fog and sińce then its... Its fucking hard. I dont want to live as a fucking zombie.
This state is bullshit
It's either trauma or dissociation or both really. the thing is in this state u don't really know what is 100 perc true
Been to psychiatrist, didnt learned anything new that i didnt knew before
Been to neurologist, nothing out of ordinary here but he said its probably anxiety just by looking at me
Im not the kind of guy that gets depressed and im always trasy to fight for myself but when your BEST abilities are intelligence, emotions and creativity and suddenly they're brung to a halt because of some bullshit reaction to something THAT SHOULDN'T EVEN CAUSE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE
This is bullshit and i think many of u would agree, most people gets brain fog after smoking weed
I'm an abstinent so that is even more bullshit
Anxiety can make your life miserable, basically all of a sudden
But for anyone who got brain fog or DPR or PTSD, try soul retrieval and go to hypnotherapy
I mean, after u pinpoint what event causes u to feel those symptoms
There was a woman who had asthma and was into mindfulness to reduce the symptoms
She came into contact with particioning shaman and after listening to he described her soul retrieval
Its basically hypnosis but you're more connected to this process if you're practising mindfulness and shaman can acces your memories that caused trauma in your life
Basically the part of u still lives im that moment when something happend
You can think of this event and feel nothing but in reality u may just think of it constantly with your subconcious mind so it doesn't seem so important to u
But the truth is every trauma can cause some kind of ilness or chemical imbalance in your brain this leasing to something like brain fog or asthma
The thing is that when she was like... 5 yrs old? Something like that
She was sitting in her attic scared while there was dust or toxic gas on the outside because there was an accident in a factory that produced "gas weapons" after ww2 (i mean it could've been just a factory that used this gas for something industrial idk, kids have a wide and crazy thoughts and we tend to make the memories more vivid and colorful. In this situation for worse)
There she was, sitting, crying and choking on this toxicated air
Shaman can talk with your past version of yourself, they call it "soul part
Shaman wont stop until he makes your lost part relax and come with it t your present self
So basically he finds the lost soul parts and brings it to you.
Same thing like hypnosis but in hypnosis u do this by urself, talking with your own past self that experienced this traumatic event
U can even do this at home but it will be harder keep that in mind especially if u have anxiety
If u have anxiety then go on hypnotherapy and dont let your mind tell u how u feel
You're the one who knows what u want to feel and how u want to feel
If you feel anxious but its chronic u can even transform it into anger
Get angry at the thoughts that brings u nothing but fear and anxiety
Its easier that way to turn this emotion into courage for self improvement.
And take your meds, preferably those who are good for stress
U can try meds that slows your brain and then u may feel clear because your brain is always on a highest gear, its overheated so it's sluggish
U can try meds that highens your serotonin levels for u to think positively for enough time to allow your body to heal and experienced what u blocked because of fear and anxiety
And try yoga, healthy diet, exercise and mindfulness
Your body is stronger than u think but the traumas it accumulates ruins it or rather, How it functions
Its strong yet primitive
So think of it like your friend, that just doesn't understand the world but wants the best for u
Describes me EXACTLY. This is more than just anxiety. Nobody understands. I literally cannot speak/think for the majority of my days alive. I feel like I’m autistic. I miss being normal.
same bro ı am with you forever.
Me too,the life is very hard for no reason
It feels like someone put a blanket over your brain and u can no longer think the way you used to
true. The worst thing is people who haven't had it (most people) literally can't understand it and think it's nothing bad even doctors don't give a damn.

That blurryness when reading texts hits so close to home. Brain fog affectively changed my life forever. I used to be somewhat of a promising student in high school. But ever since I got affected by brain fog, the decline was sharp. Day to day studying felt like a monumental task simply because I had to actively put in so much effort to understand even a basic idea or sentence. My grades started dropping and I never truly recovered from it. I managed to graduate from a private university but I always feel sad thinking what could have been if I had never fallen victim to it.
Do you still have it ?
@@alienx8188 unfortunately yes and its been over a decade since I first got it. Although I have learned to work around it to some extent. But I still have to actively put an effort to focus on the topic at hand while studying. And also I can retain very little of what I learn during study sessions. So it's going back and studying the same things over and over again to make sure it sticks this time. It's frustrating and exhausting but I have to make do with the hand that I've been dealt with

What’s caused your brain fog?
@@Raptor269 If I only knew I could tell you. All I can say is that it started when I was 12 years old. It was as if I woke up one day and it was here and it never really went away. When I was younger I was really competitive in sports. Specifically baseball and soccer. My father coached me and I could remember a morning of a game when I told him that my head does not feel right. It was as if a haze that entered my brain and it never went away. During the initial phases of this brain fog, I dealt with a lot of fatigue and lethargy. Learning and focus was a lot harder and at one point during my early years of dealing with this it was as almost if I had forgot how to walk and literally had to visualize myself taking one foot in front of the other in order to be able to stay upright. Nobody really seemed to understand what I was going through and my parents were doing the best they could. They sent me to main stream doctors and an ENT specialist told my parents that I would eventually grow out of this. Well that never happened, I have been on medication for migraines, anxiety, depression, asthma and ADD. Cat Scans, MRI's, EEG's and EKG's revealed nothing abnormal. By the time I was a senior in High School I started to have panic attacks and at that point my parents sent me to see a psychiatrist which ultimately led me with a performance anxiety diagnosis and a prescription of medication that ultimately did nothing more for me than made me extremely tired if I did not take them correctly. After taking the medication for many months and seeing limited to absolutely no results I was convinced that this was not what was wrong with me and quit the meds cold turkey. That was a big mistake. I was left with a lingering headache for months that finally went away but it took a long time. I remember one night staying up all night because I was off the medicine and it messed up my sleep cycle and I saw an informercial on television about some nutritional supplements and one of the testimonials was that the individual felt like their brain came alive. With that testimonial resonating inside of my head I went ahead and ordered the supplements which led me on a path to naturopathic medicine. Upon looking up the supplements I also found out about Systematic Candida which could cause brain fog. I researched Candida and one of the number one solutions was diet modification. Specifically consuming a sugar free diet was one of the ways to handle a candida infection. I had always had massive sugar cravings when I was younger and did not think anything other then I am growing young man. I did not really pay any attention to how awful I would feel after consuming simple carbohydrates and sugar. It was my first year of college when I tried the candida diet and I can honestly say I had never felt so good in my entire life. My energy levels increased to a point that I had not felt in a long time and my focus was a little bit better. If I ever relapsed and consumed sugar I would feel terrible again. The most noticeable difference in the diet modification was my energy levels. It seemed as though I would feel better the less I ate. The brain fog unfortunately never really went away but was just slightly better. I have learned even now that I have to be careful how I eat. I am soon going to try extended water fasting to see if that proves any successful results. It seems as though I have tried every supplement in the book with limited results. A few thoughts that have come to mind is heavy metal toxicity, Lyme disease, Food intolerances, leaky gut syndrome, and chronic fatigue syndrome. I have had Lyme disease test and it was negative. Medicine for ADD seemed to reduce fatigue and helped focus but never really cleared the fog. With no clear correlations other than the direct effect of feeling a little better with a low carb diet my next goals are the extended water fast and then transitioning into a Keto Diet. Brain fog is just really weird as I have never done any recreational drugs or ever drank alcohol in my life yet sugars and carbs seem to be my kryptonite. Praying that this too shall pass. In the mean time I must keep fighting and searching.
I was abused as a child so ... it has been in my life for almost ... idk ... 20 years ?! I hate this feeling

What's histamine? Any other solutions to this?
I can now confirm that I've had brain fog for a very long time.
It's limited my social ability to connect with people and make new friends while maintaining contact with them. It makes things as simple as understanding a conversation and engaging in one a daunting task. I often find it very difficult gathering my own thoughts (or even having thoughts) and expressing them through speech.
I just recently decided to start reading more and listening to podcasts and talk shows more often to improve my social and communication skills. I also think it impairs cognitive abilities in a way because I sometimes find that I can't understand & clearly express myself. I sometimes think I'm dumb.
Life has gotten a bit worse for me especially as I have anxiety. But I'm trying a few things to see how it goes in the next few years.

@Joe R I am perfectly fine now. It was all because of this pandemic. I am a pretty sporty and energetic guy. And I had not done any physical activity in months.

As someone who has had a TBI and diagnosed with Post-Concussion syndrome, this description of brain fog is spot on.
On the more severe days i have trouble driving, working, talking, etc. At first i thought i was developing some kind of dementia. To anyone who suffers with this, the trick is to accept the fog and know that it’s not permanent.
Hi there, I absolutley feeel the same way. You nailed it with the thoughts of have dementia. It is terrifying to be honest. I have good days, and bad days. It's at the point now that i relish in the good days.
HI. I take 3 small doses of prednisone a day to counteract mental fog (morning before breakfast, after lunch and in the evening after dinner). I have Hashimoto's. I believe brain fog is related to Atpo...
You don't need medication. You need to quit sugar, eat carnivore and you will not have any fog.
hey there if you see this comment you helped me accept the fog because you said its not permanent thank you for your words these people that have desame illness makes me feel comforted
Oh wow, so I've been feeling like this for years and I didn't know it had a name. I thought it was just me being extremely introverted and feeling burnt out from the smallest amount of mental or social stimulation, that clocking out of conversations and being forgetful was just a natural response. It was like that feeling right before you fall asleep, being numb and unable to think or even feel emotions.
I think when I get out of my brain fog, I was often overwhelmed, being sad or self-critical over my life, like my work, and things that I couldn't get up to do. That would exhaust me and send me right back into another brain fog.
I knew I was depressed but I didn't know I was borderline derealizing...

It's blurry and hd at the same time if that makes sense, so I think it's not my eyes themselves but either the optic nerve or the occipital lobe or something.
But every so often like a few times a year, I can see perfectly for a few minutes, I can read signs that's far away and can process the information I'm seeing, so I know it's not permanent
i’ve been feeling this way for a year now. i have been so stressed out and lost in my mind while also repeatedly doing things but i never actually stopped to search and learn that i am not the only one that feels like this, and i’m glad i just did.

my mind problem is when I get ready to say something, I can't think of the word but I can try to tell you the meaning of the word. Then the word may come to me
very irritating
I try to explain it and others say I do the same thing. I am so forgetful. They have no idea
I've been feeling this for so long and the more you said the more I realized how wrong I've been feeling. I can't sleep and I've just been up, knowing something is wrong but not feeling anything wrong. I feel like I've "retreated" into the back of my brain and have little control of myself anymore. This has probably been here for years but I just couldn't tell. I feel like there is more I could say but I can't think of anything else right now, and I hate how this comment is just random thoughts put together.
Sadly, I completely understand everything you wrote. I hope you find peace as well. This is no way to live
I want to write something deep and meaningful how much I relate to u but my brain is mush :(
Wow! I just got my fibro diagnosis this week and I’ve felt this way for years. Thank you for sharing this, I’m not going insane!
How did they come to diagnose you with that ?
Francesca Visca process of elimination and extensive tests, but I am having more tests with a new neurologist next month.
Never had my back scanned and I also suspect I’ve got damaged/slipped discs
Geneva is there a cure to this? I’m really freaking out this never happened to me before. And also how long does it take to go away
Hamza unfortunately, no. But there are many meds and resources to help. Feel free to contact me on Facebook as Gee Fox
And the thinking through mud is what is called “fibro fog” and I also get what is called aphasia - I can’t find words and have to describe it to others to get the word. Incredibly frustrating.
You guys are really strong to keep pushing, I’m proud of all of you! I don’t want anyone to feel this way but it is good to know we aren’t alone
Oh boy. This hit really home. I want to cry. It’s so accurate. Great video 👍🏼
I entirely relate to this. It is horrifying, except from the memory losses I develop negative thoughts all the time. The last two years have been a nightmare at the university
At least you made it to uni.
It has been two years since I've graduated.
I am not sure if you face brain fogs, or anything similar. Personally, I managed to get rid of the symptoms
@@Verefara. how did you do it?
@@nappy851 In my situation everything was related with stress/ unconscious stress to be precise. Everyday I was stressing myself unconsciously, which led towards forgetting to breathe (tight body muscles/ fomo attitude) while thinking, listening to others or even trying to concentrate. What played an important role, was realising and reminding myself to relax my muscles and breathe more often.
It actually took a few months to come back to normal. Additionally, my attention span appears to be reduced comparing to what it used to be. I guess that's how my brain developed itself in order to improve my antistressor mechanism.
This school year is gonna go bad. :( this year I forgot everything I learned last year. My teachers even noticed when they ask me questions I zone out.
Same and now I don’t go , haven’t since sept
I am sorry for everyone I was ever frustrated with if they were slower to understand than I thought reasonable. This video made me understand the many symptoms of brain fog, and that sometimes we just have to extend extra grace and patience so they can understand and have time to respond appropriately.
I feel like brain fog is a really misunderstood issue and very stigmatized in our fast-paced society. The faster it goes, the harder it is for us brain foggers to keep up! Plus, it’s an invisible illness. You can’t tell just by looking at someone how well their brain functions. I’m glad this video helped raise awareness for you and helped you to realize how important it is to be compassionate and patient towards people like me who suffer brain fog. Thanks for your kind comment 🙏😊♥️
It feels like there’s a concrete wall around my brain, I slur my words and stuff up pronunciations, I forget everything and I feel like crap. It’s all mental for me.
That's exactly how I feel. Found any sort of relief?
Same😭😭
@social justice warrior does not seeing far objects clearly as well as not being able to focus on near objects too a sign of brain fog?I am confused whether it's an eye problem or brain fog?Does brain fog go away sometimes and come again?For me i get this noot seeing clearly all the time ,,when i close my eyes,i can feel no problem ,i feel normal.please reply,do people with brain fog experience it or i am wrong and it's completely an eye problem ,from your personal experience!
I had same problem since I was 15. The panic attacks, the shaking, paranoia, unable to concentrate, unable to think, even unable to speak at times. I felt like I was going completely insane. And became suicidal. If you going through this you not alone. I understand how you feel.
How are you feeling now?
same here
This was so incredibly accurate. Thank you for describing what I feel every day in a coherent, beautifuly spoken video.
I had constantly brain fog when i was in depression. It happen when i'm super super stress, along with depersonalization. These are mechanism from the brain to help you seperate yourself from the cause and the pain of the stress you're facing.
Are feeling better now?
Ive been going through this for the past three months and I act so boring around my best friend and I feel like she’s gonna leave me because I used to be more outgoing around her but now I just can’t think of anything to do or talk about with her.
Wth same here
I have the same thoughts all the time like I always think that I must be so boring to the people around me
Sorry to hear that. But does brain fog feels like there's something squeezing your head especially at the backhead and it feels like the oxygen doesn't reach your head?. Please answer it !! I've been having for 3 years!!😔
@@hello123q yes when there is an awkward point in a social setting I sometimes get that feeling and it won’t go away because I can’t stop thinking about how awkward or boring I am, and how much they probably don’t want to be there or how much I’d rather be laying in bed, it’s like literally painful. I am honestly doing much better now tho because I got vulnerable w my best friend and told her how I was feeling at that time and she understood because she has had similar experiences, but currently we are as close as ever so if you are experiencing that feeling just know that it will get better and maybe try to tell the people around you how you feel. If they don’t reciprocate or they judge you than they are a bad friend. If you need to make friends I know it is hard and it seems like everyone already has their people and and you wouldn’t want to impose on their friend group, but honestly you just have to fake it till you make it. Like, pretending that you’re confident enough will literally make you confident. Also make sure that you are happy with yourself first, (like you are able to enjoy alone time) before you become dependent on others, and never feel like you are missing out on something if you simply just would rather be alone. Sorry this is a lot but if anyone is reading this I hope it helps 😙😙

I feel like im not the one whos controlling myself, like im just watching myself doing something.
I always cant find the words i want to explain myself
10000000%
I was thinking about that last week. I feel alone. I have lots of friend and close ones but they don't understand and I'm tired of explaining myself which gets very frustrating so I just sent all of them this video.
Are you better at all?
Man I can't even understand what I am feeling,how can I explain it if I don't understand it.

managed to cure my severe brain fog by removing histamine from my diet.
I have been trying to look for explanation of my forgetfulness of simple tasks, dates, Unexplained errors, just almost everything explained in this video. I constantly have to question myself about the statements to friends may have been misinterpreted. Poor concentration at work and university. I used to have a very sharp memory. I just don't know what happened to me. How can I get out of this? It's affecting my work and create a bad perception about you being incompetent or not being detail oriented.
I too had a memory like Sheldon Cooper and now just everything is ruined. How do you feel now?

I just had something in gym and I and I am getting treated with nucca and Physiotherapy and it has helped a lot , my brain fog is almost gone and m feeling like old me again ...
I’ve never heard anyone describe this so accurately. This is exactly what it feels like
All the time she was explaining I was just saying omg, everything thing is me. My poor neighbors every time they invite me for a dinner I will turned it down just because I don’t want to go and be struggling with words.
I went to a party and was handed the microphone just to make a short statement things that I would do so easy back in time. I just mumbled around words till I realized I was really saying anything meaningful, I just became blank. That was the last day I drank alcohol a cigarette I felt so bad and embarrassed. I blamed it on the alcohol that made it hard for me to think clearly.
Few minutes ago I had a call, was talking to a friend, I wanted to say middle of next month, it came out July of next month. She paused for while she must have realized I was off with what I was saying. Though I corrected it. After the call I say I should look up cloudy head on TH-cam and boom, someone was telling my whole life exactly.
I have had this very long time without knowing I had a problem. Now I remember so sometimes when I talk with people they twist their faces as to show that I am straining to say say something. I used to wonder now i know I was struggling that is why the had that facial expression
This is the most accurate description I've found so far to what I experience every day. It's just so frustrating when your brain just does not want to cooperate with you
Hey, people who struggle with brain fog (like me), you might have candida (like me), now when I heal that, have an appropriate diet and take natural antifungus like essential oils and supplements, I almost don't have this brain fog. Please do some research about that, this may be the root of your problem. It's save me of suicide
@@Aphrodisiaque999 hey could you tell me more about candida as I have been suffering from brain fog too
Thank you for giving me the words to explain. Some things I didn't even connect to one another.
Brian fog and gut health are directly correlated. I would advise everyone here to go to a professional colema clinic. If you start there the road to recovery will not be far.
What do you ask them for? Just an enema? In my experience even gastroenterologists are extremely unhelpful when it comes to brain fog.
@@OP-xi1hv no enema won't help. the basic idea is to detoxify the gut (by special drugs like GI Detox) and to regain "good bacteria" (drugs like Probiocsin). but it will work only IF; -you get lucky. most of the treatment drugs and plans are rubbish.
this made me feel less alone in the world, thank you. i relate to everything she said.
This is a very good description. It's so difficult to explain to others, especially when you're affected by it. I'm now one year in with Long-Covid and aside from feeling physically like a corpse, this is the most difficult aspect to deal with.
I was trying to figure out why i felt like I’m in some kind of trance every time when I try to talk to people I can’t I find the right words to express how I’m feeling I’ve been having this ever since a year ago It sometimes it comes on and off I thought I was the only one who had it good to know I’m not alone ☺️

Hi do you still have brain fog I also feel like I'm stuck in a trance
I couldn’t string together more than 2 sentences for an essay. I have never felt this blank.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. Since having COVID 2x, I've gone from having a photographic memory and speaking eloquently, to knowing the words I want to say but having them "disappear" or to being totally unable to speak them coherently, among other very frustrating issues.
Wtf😔 I’ve had this for years and I never knew others had this problem, brain fog should be taken more serious. I can never remember what point I’m trying to make and always find it hard to express myself. God bless anyone with this problem I hope you find a solution because I know I need to find one too🙏❤️ we’re all in this together:)
Appreciated we can coup with brain fog trust in our lord ❤🙏
Its so important to spread awareness about this, thank you very much!
I remember watching this video about couple of months ago and relating so badly to everything she said... And now... After finally going through this for two years, I've come out of my brain fog and pain on my own. (Ok I've also found a friend to discuss everything with) It feels amazing because at some point, I had believed that I might have to spend my whole life in this manner. But I finally understood myself and came out of this. I'm not completely perfect yet as whenever my mind anticipates something terrible and very overwhelming coming my way, it tends to shut down and become numb again. But at least, I can confirm that now I remember what it was like to connect to my surroundings properly. I hope that everyone else can someday find a solution to this issue too. ❤️
How did you find the solution, what Did you do better your condition?
what did you do to over come it?
They say the solution is carnivore diet
@rumamaji5031 how did you came out of it ?
The blurry vision being shown throughout the video put me into shock. I wear eyeglasses, but I always seem to see the world in a way that I can't seem to focus my vision. It's as if I'm in a constant state of sleep paralysis, but you're still able to move your body. Exactly like the description at 0:19 where I seem to not have a sense of physical existence. This video was an amazing interpretation of brain fog and I'm glad to know that their is description for such a confusing experience of current life.
I honestly didn't know this was something other people felt. I thought I was tired. But how could I be tired with 8 hours of sleep every night? So I just type in youtube " feel like my brain is asleep" and this is what came up and this feels so relatable. Glad to know I'm not alone
Ever since some time near the beginning of elementary school I had brain fog. It happens every day. It sucks.
Same it sucks so bad, And I cant enjoy the movies and video games I always fancied.
I got mine after the first tattoo :")
But since i have anxiety i stressed myself up too much during the process of tattooing and my body probably thought that its time for u to dissociate
After that i felt like i was disconnected from myself, not like depersonalization or derealization
I was awake but without any emotions and it made my anxiety go on a panic mode (not panic attacks) and i searched everything i could to get what's happening to me
Of course i filled myself with so many negative thoughts that after a month when my emotions came back i suddenly got brain fog and sińce then its... Its fucking hard. I dont want to live as a fucking zombie.
This state is bullshit
It's either trauma or dissociation or both really. the thing is in this state u don't really know what is 100 perc true
Been to psychiatrist, didnt learned anything new that i didnt knew before
Been to neurologist, nothing out of ordinary here but he said its probably anxiety just by looking at me
Im not the kind of guy that gets depressed and im always trasy to fight for myself but when your BEST abilities are intelligence, emotions and creativity and suddenly they're brung to a halt because of some bullshit reaction to something THAT SHOULDN'T EVEN CAUSE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE
This is bullshit and i think many of u would agree, most people gets brain fog after smoking weed
I'm an abstinent so that is even more bullshit
Anxiety can make your life miserable, basically all of a sudden
But for anyone who got brain fog or DPR or PTSD, try soul retrieval and go to hypnotherapy
I mean, after u pinpoint what event causes u to feel those symptoms
There was a woman who had asthma and was into mindfulness to reduce the symptoms
She came into contact with particioning shaman and after listening to he described her soul retrieval
Its basically hypnosis but you're more connected to this process if you're practising mindfulness and shaman can acces your memories that caused trauma in your life
Basically the part of u still lives im that moment when something happend
You can think of this event and feel nothing but in reality u may just think of it constantly with your subconcious mind so it doesn't seem so important to u
But the truth is every trauma can cause some kind of ilness or chemical imbalance in your brain this leasing to something like brain fog or asthma
The thing is that when she was like... 5 yrs old? Something like that
She was sitting in her attic scared while there was dust or toxic gas on the outside because there was an accident in a factory that produced "gas weapons" after ww2 (i mean it could've been just a factory that used this gas for something industrial idk, kids have a wide and crazy thoughts and we tend to make the memories more vivid and colorful. In this situation for worse)
There she was, sitting, crying and choking on this toxicated air
Shaman can talk with your past version of yourself, they call it "soul part
Shaman wont stop until he makes your lost part relax and come with it t your present self
So basically he finds the lost soul parts and brings it to you.
Same thing like hypnosis but in hypnosis u do this by urself, talking with your own past self that experienced this traumatic event
U can even do this at home but it will be harder keep that in mind especially if u have anxiety
If u have anxiety then go on hypnotherapy and dont let your mind tell u how u feel
You're the one who knows what u want to feel and how u want to feel
If you feel anxious but its chronic u can even transform it into anger
Get angry at the thoughts that brings u nothing but fear and anxiety
Its easier that way to turn this emotion into courage for self improvement.
And take your meds, preferably those who are good for stress
U can try meds that slows your brain and then u may feel clear because your brain is always on a highest gear, its overheated so it's sluggish
U can try meds that highens your serotonin levels for u to think positively for enough time to allow your body to heal and experienced what u blocked because of fear and anxiety
And try yoga, healthy diet, exercise and mindfulness
@@shuttzi9878 that's a real long text for someone with brain fog to read but i tried.
Mine feels like it started towards the end of highschool im 24 now
@COOLBIAN57 sorry to hear it, i only got it after panic attacks coupled with depersonalization ect. 20years later I still have it but none of the other issuse besides a bit of generalised anxiety, and I've tried everything nutrient supplement fad studied and studied. I'm now just starting lexapro but only at 5mg. I do believe anxiety and or inflammation is at the core. Will let you know how i go in a few weeks if your interested.
Finally I found a video describing exactly everything that I've experienced lately. I struggled to express my thoughts through words and constantly blamed myself for not being witty/smart enough. I tried my best to keep up with what people were saying but ended up feeling stupid. I've been like this for 1 month and still haven't figured out how to fix it.
Thank you! Seriously thank you for making this video. I hace had this for years!!! No one understand what I mean.
It’s like I’m disconnected from the world, almost like I’m in a dream. My vision is affected, like I see fine have never needed glasses at all but have like a disconnect tunnel vision where I’m affected by certain lighting.
I can still do things like I can go to the gym and work just fine but then moment I do any mental task like studying it feels like I have done a Marathon and literally need to lie down after.
I cannot listen to people very well. Im not being disrespectful but I genuinely struggle to comprehend more than a few sentences at a time.
Like you said I have good and bad days but it’s always there. After every medical test possible I have never been diagnosed with anything. It’s like it’s a new illness that hasn’t been noticed yet.
I hope anyone like me can build a community in order to express and share our feelings. :)
CFS makes my brain fog constantly!!! The hell on the Earth, l don't remember how it was "normal" anymore... 😞😞😞 People with brain fog, stay strong
Managed to cure my brain fog by removing histamine.
I've Brain-Fog since 2017. I had a panic attack at the beginning and thought I was terminally ill. It was very depressing and I and others didn't understood what was happening to me. It was terrible! I don't know how, but it took me six months to realize that I had brain fog. I accepted that and learned to deal with BF and PA. And yet I wanted my clear consciousness back. So I searched for information about my symptoms and found hundreds of possible causes. Then I found and read a book on panic attacks and how to stop them (lots of good tips, but not for everyone). And once, in the evening, I was home alone. I read the book and for a second experienced the clarity in my brain that I had before April 2017. I felt so happy and got hope, but I didn't understood why it happened while reading. And today I found a video about brain fog and there was a tip - read books. Well that's the answer (for me). It's obvious because you're on social media too much and you lose focus. And in 2017, before the incident, I was online too often and slept too little :(

I first off want to say thank you for posting this . Ive developed this in September of 2020 right after taking a flouroquinolone antibiotic . I have not been the same since . Some days are definitely better than others . I completely feel what you're going through. I wish you the utmost peace .
The antibiotic has disrupted the microbiome in your gut, research the brain and gut health connection. You stomach has millions and millions of neurons just like your brain, in a sense it is like a second brain, it explain why you get "gut feelings" about situations.
The problem with antibiotics is they remove the good AND the bad bacteria in your digestive tract, and if you've had your spleen removed this can make it difficult for your body to find balance. The spleen carries an entire back up microbiome for your gut and intestines that your body uses like a backup storage in case your gut flora is disturbed or eliminated
what an eloquent, expressive, and clear way to describe something so ephemeral and confusing. i feel the brain fog and i feel the clarity of this explanation at the same time. thank you ❤✨
Thank you so much for making a video of this. I've been struggling REALLY badly lately in a way I never have dealt with in terms of brain fog and it's made me so anxious. I typically have no issue thinking clearly, but I am so exhausted from this lately.
