Brain fog
Any tips for dealing with brain fog/derealization at work? I was feeling not too anxious this morning but I’ve got to work and finding it really hard to concentrate and get my words out

Yeah I so know that feeling. Remember it is not a big deal, it usually goes away when you just focus on present and do your job. Some days it makes things a bit harder but you can always do the job. Not putting pressure on myself is the best strategy for me. I just let it be, accept myself in this slightly uncertain position and focus on living. Also when you wanna help it the other way around, use yerba mate - that always helped me in the foggiest days.:)
@Dan8421 Honestly I’m in awe how you stated this, because for me it’s very much impossible to focus on work while having brain fog. Maybe I focus on it too much.
Here is a very overlooked thing that I at times miss . Something as simple as mild dehydration can contribute to fuzzy thinking . Especially as many of us are going into warmer weather keep up your fluid levels, with mainly clean clear drinking water 💦.
Does anyone else get this almost “out of body” sensation where they feel almost drugged during and after a flare up? My brain feels stuffed and fuzzy. I don’t quite even know how to describe it! But it’s always after my OCD is triggered, and it can last for awhile.
does anyone feel like ever since they started with intrusive thoughts / compulsions that you feel as if your brain has turned to mush and your intellect has vanished. it’s really hard for me to string sentences together & i feel as if everyone who speaks about ocd has this way of putting it that i never will be able to. i’m still untreated & in the dark to be honest. when it comes about speaking about what ive been through as well i can’t remember everything only the really bad episodes, it’s like my brain is hiding it away from me waiting for a day for me to remember and traumatise me all over again. i’m also petrified of saying the wrong things to people and potentially worsening their ocd or seeming to be uneducated about it and like i have no idea what i’m talking about. i’m still learning but i’m frustrated that i feel as if i still don’t know anything. does that make sense?
I literally get these symptoms right after rumination. Does anyone else? It's gotten worse lately. I think it could / likely be related to anxiety but the concern it's gotten progressively worse, to the point where I can't even concentrate a lot of the time. Alzheimer runs in the my family so now I'm worried about that crap. Like I feel like my brain itself has freakin changed (for the worse). Worse memory (because of constant memory checking), worse imagination, more stress, etc. And now daily brain fog, headaches, dizziness, etc.
