How does your depression impact your ability to think?

For me, it often feels like my mind is in a box too small for it, making it hard to think.

I can't hold on to a thought, they all just flit away.

Sometimes it feels like wading through thick mud or navigating through a thick fog. I often forget things, even when I'm right in the middle of thinking about them.

It felt like I was spiralling in the same thoughts again and again, I can't focus on anything else and I just feel like crying all the time.

It's very much like that for me. Also forgetting what I'm talking about mid-sentence and that kind of thing. I was at the store looking at a display, turned away and immediately forgot what I had just been looking at. So damn frustrating.

Definitely got a serious brain fog going on. Undue effort to focus and think straight about basic things.

I can only imagine at this point IRL I must come off as a total space cadet... just totally out of it.

for me its like a big weight crushing down all of my thoughts. nothing is surprising anymore. or maybe that's just the meds? who knows

My biggest issue with depression is decision making. I can not form opinions or logically reason through things. My partner gets really frustrated with me not being able to make choices which then makes me feel even worse.
