I wonder if you have something physically going on. I'd get a full physical, including getting you thyroid levels checked. Also...how old are you? Are you female? It could be hormonal if you are in your 40's or 50's.

Due you take any medications? Some medications can cause brain fog. Yoga or meditation night help clean your mind and after a habit forms your focus would improve. I feel for you, I get that way often myself and it is frustrating.

I HAVE THIS!!!!! Haven't found a way to solve it yet, but you are not alone. I have it terribly. Makes me not want to be out and around people

Hi Nikki,

"Brain Fog"... Is very symptomatic of anxiety. There is a reason for it. This is a reaction to the body being in ha high state of stress and anxiety. As you can imagine with the high amounts of adrenaline and cortisol running through your system...something's gotta slow you down eventually....brain fog seems to serve this purpose. Some people describe it as an "unreality" or "out of body" or "spacey" experience.

Try getting into an exercise routine which will both increases you endorphins and also helps to lift depression. Nothing gets rid of brain fog faster then exercise.

I have this too, and I absolutely hate it. I get it when I am around people. I am actually having an extremely difficult time with it now that the new semester at school as started. I feel so out of it when I am in class that I cannot concentrate and focus. It's so frustrating.

I haven't found any way to get rid of it...I wish I could help you. If I am at home and having brain fog, doing some light stretching/yoga seems to bring me down to reality. Also, talking to someone close to me (like my mother) or listening to music also helps. Unfortunately, I can't really do any of those things while I am in class, so I haven't found a solution. I hope you find something that works for you...I know how miserable and frustrating this is.

I started taking adderall and it helps me concentrate. Then I added lexapro which makes me forget things I am talking about! Sometimes it feels like my head is full of concrete.

I agree with getting your hormones checked. Find a bioidentical hormone replacement therapy doctor. They are specialists, not your ordinary doctor. Progesterone ( a lack of it) which can occur during menopause can be a cause for difficulty sleeping. I am 52 and after having compete blood work done and evaluated by a BHRT specialist found that I wasn't making normal ranges of about 6 different hormones. I have been taking these hormones which are made up in a compounding pharmacy specifically for my levels and I feel really good....and I sleep good without taking any sleep aids anymore. I take the progesterone in the evening since that is the one hormone that has a real calming effect on me. Hope this helps.

I hate brain fog or whatever makes me feel detached or in twilight zone.I always get it around family and or my spouse.Then I start thinking Im with the wrong person if this is what happens to me? Of course Ive gotten it in other places too. I can get rid of it by playing my guitar. Also when I do scrollsawing or sports photography makes it go away! I just wish I could be with my fiance without getting it cause it really upsets me,thinking she is the cause of it!
