That's one of the reasons why I had quit my SSRI's, which worked because it went away. However, now that I am in an unprecedented amount of dread and coupled with soft drug use everyday It has come back with a vengeance.

Had brain fog since last October and its hateful! I don't think I have felt this bad all the time I have had bipolar. I have had numerous blood tests and the only thing that came out of it was i have an under-active thyroid. I am trying to put it down to starting the menopause as I need to in my head have an excuse to feeling like shit 24/7

Maybe this isn't the same thing, but my head is empty... like I feel like an airhead. I barely talk to people because of it.
I was kind of born that way, but years of marijuana use, mindless meditation, and suppression of traumatic events made it worse.

I hate weed. Tried to go around the seedy/alternative part looking for it so I can gradually move on to finding H, but lord the stink is the worst. And of course nobody will help me towards a dealer.
I have brain fog for 9 years it started from someone stealing from me something i care about. So i had to forget it. But i cant so i force myself to forget it. By forcing myself i turned my psyche upside-down. Now i cant think clearly. I have brain fog. I cant focus and i had many times migraine with auras.
Ofc the number one fairly tale for other is that i have probles coz of drugs. But i never had a problem after drugs till this event.
After that reality were unbearable.

I feel like my marijuana use might've made my brain fog worse, but I love how it relaxes me

I had brain fog for years. Terrible. I quit grad school. No way to live. Doctors could not find anything wrong with me.
One day I was recommended to a naturopath who tested different things that other doctors did not. Turns out I had leaky gut, parasites and yeast (all in gut). She laughed when she saw my results and said, "no wonder you feel this way". Anyway, I did what she told me to do to heal. It took a long time, but my brain fog finally went away for the most part. It's like night and day. It def added to why I wanted to ctb. I have other reasons to still want to go though. In the mean time I am so thankful to feel better.

Yeah, depression and anxiety gives me severe brain fog. If you haven't tried it yet, I recommend CBD products. I've only used it for 4 days so far, but it has given me a lot of energy and unlike marijuana with THC, it makes me more social, intelligent, and happy.
I was so shocked because I switched from Lexapro, an antidepressant, to 2 mood stabilizers, and while the mood stabilizers kind of helped my depression after using them for a few weeks, the CBD edibles and oil droplets has helped me an insane amount and worked instantaneously!

Brain fog is definitely one of the reasons for when I want to CBT. Lack of concentration coupled with severe anxiety doesn't do well in social situations especially when your work requires you to fix computers in front of other people... Add in living alone and continents apart from family and well.. you get this.

Hey that's what I have too. Do you by the chance have social anxiety and have fear of people? I do and I don't know what to do.

Not the main cause, but it also adds up to the pile of problems i can't deal with, which make me want to part from this world.
It makes my studying very difficult as i'm always struggling to remember things i just read or learned, and if i ever find a job it will make me much more likely to screw up.
I don't know what caused it, but i started noticing it around my 13's and it has been getting worse ever since.
I don't know what caused it: depression alone doesn't seem likely to me as when i started getting brainfog i had no depression.
It may have to do with my neurological disease, even though i only got diagnosed last year, i have suspicions that it may have started much before.
Also on my mother's side there is Alzheimer's disease and overall bad mental health.

Not so much fear of people as a complete avoidance. When im with them i dont fear them. I just feel like im grasping at straws trying to connect or hold conversations... i end up feeling very alien and falling quiet if someone doesnt continue the dialogue...

Try alpha gcp if you suffer from brain fog. It is probably the best supplement I've found for it, and I've tried everything available.

Oh my god yes.
My friends "tease me", although it is more like bullying, for having bad cognitive function. I've become someone who is like a class clown, only, I'm an adult, and I'm not trying to be funny.
It is extremely difficult for me to process my thoughts. Therefore, I forget easily, and am often very confused. People think it's funny, or god forbid, think that it's cute.
No one understands how much I suffer. I'm too young to be taken seriously.

Yes. Mine started a few years ago. I assumed it was because of depression. It's now quite severe and I'm convinced it's actual brain damage caused by HIV/AIDS (which I was born with).
