I don't know if I would call it depression , I don't know if it's just my bipolar but I feel as if my brain is missing something right now and kind of foggy. Does anyone else have brain fog a lot?

I get that more in the Fall and Winter months. I agree with Matt, diet, vitamins, omega 3, exercise help. I also use a light box in the winter. I have brain fog terrible today. Our weather is freezing with rain and very gloomy. Hugs

I have a brain fog every time I take my medicines. I have to take them because if I didn't feel foggy then my mind would race.

I have some months that are better than others on that issue. It is just a part of being bp.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
