My Mind Is Foggy

I know exactly what you mean. I feel like this and haven't come up with any explanations as yet or solutiions.

Along with this its also the feeling of just kind of floating around and not really being here.

If I find out anything ill let you know :)

I've too experienced this, and put it down to not exercising (i work in an office) so i've decided to start swimming once a week and am eating alot more healthier - i'm hoping that this will make a difference! If it does, i'll let you know!

I found that taking a cold shower will sort of snap me out of it for a while, plus its good for your skin. But im still looking for a permanent solution.

Hey its got a lot to do with your mind focusing on it as well. When you are concious of a feeling it kind of makes it worse. I try to do any thing that will take my mind off it, if you fill your day with activities it really does help as your mind is focusing on other things!

They say too much masturbation causes this. Try stopping masturbation. Also eating junk food causes this. You should eat 2 parts fresh fruit and veg for every other food item you consume. Also you are probably sleep deprived.

I am experiencing this too, sadly at a more extreme level, as it seems to progress over time. I have been diagnosed with lyme disease, but I can never be sure if it is causing my neurological symptoms. I feel like im in a dream... 24/7. I lose a sense of awareness that I didnt notice until it slipped away. It gets worse when I dont sleep enough.
All around tired, really.
Im physically exausted, tired of hoping, tired of trying, tired of life.

This is a sad way to live, and no one diserves it. I've been labeled a pothead at school because they dont understand. Few do.

Heh, me too :(

just recently i've been posting here trying to help people, and now I became one of them.

To set things straight - this is not depersonalization. I remember how dr/dp feels like, but this is different. It feels as though I became dumber, I lose track of words that I read. I also have troubles going to sleep.


This is how I explain this. Personally in my case, it might've been caused by stress. I'm a graduating senior (getting done this june). Over the few last semesters, i've had to work harder than anybody else, partly because I don't enjoy studying but still have to get good grades, and partly because I mismanaged my curriculum plan earlier. At the end of the previous semester, I ended up having to study and understand an entire book of advanced math, in order for me to pass the class. I haven't slept for days, and was in constant fear of failing the class.


The class is over now, I didn't fail it. But I think the prolonged stress finally got me, and I snapped.


I quit smoking. I quit eating junk. I'm planning to start exercising regularly once i'm through college, which is soon.


This "foggy brain" condition is weird, and it used to cause severe panic attacks in me. Not anymore. I'm kinda used to it now, basically I feel like I didn't sleep for one night.


If you people figure out what it is, let us all know. Also, the guy who decided to fix the condition with regular exercise - keep us posted. Back in the day I used to lift weights, and it helped a lot my mental and emotional wellbeing. Now unfortunately, the circumstances keep me from taking good care of me, so i'm coping temporarily.

Definitly I know where you guys are coming from. Its killer on me cause im in college and I need to pass my classes. Sometimes it get me real down but reading that theres more people out there helps alot. I just wish I knew you guys in person becaues no one knows whats going on with me here and so have to just deal with it on my own. I guess the best thing to do is say medical question it and to try and live life.
