Does anyone else feel vacant like they cant formulate thoughts...just feel like my brains broken lol

I used to be forgetful, now I'm er, um .....what was I saying?

Yes, I had that a while back. I went from a hard core corporate mentality type to airhead overnight, it was quite hard to accept yet, I had no choice but to wait for it to pass but it didn't. Finally, about 8 months ago i was given a pill to calm my nerves and my brain function came back to the point where I was able to read a few books a week, my memory went sharp as a whistle and my acuity is on par to complete constructive sentences just as before.  If it weren't for that pill I might still be in broken brain stage, maybe, lol.

What pill was that? I don't suffer from nervous anxiety, but I am suffering from an almost constant low level stress that is pushing up my BP. I know what most of the course is and there is nothing I can do about it at the moment. I hate taking any meds - but I hate this feeling even more!

A month ago my husband and I had a lovely weekend away at a golf resort hotel with a spa (neither of us play golf but the grounds are BEAUTIFUL That undercurrent of stress followed me there. Even a full body massage didn't do much. I came back needing a holiday!

Sorry - most of the CAUSE. Dur

Hi yeah I would also love to know what pills you're taking please x

Sorry, ladies this medication is prescribed as a psychotropic drug. It was given to me when I was having a panic attack and scared to death in fear for my life after some stalker weirdo threatened to kill me. So I doubt they'll give it to you. It's called risperdal..

Ah ok thank you.......feeling barely alive today...periods just finished and just no energy.......

Whenever I felt this way I would take a multi-vitamin. It always gave me back some energy after an hour or 2. If you have any you should take it. I'm a bit pickier I would buy the vegetarian ones but regular ones work good too which is what I take now.

Yes...   I feel 'out there' like I'm just not with it anymore..  I didn't even care about decorating for fall/halloween..   And with X-mas-- just not sure.   I do push myself but really could care less about making dinner for the family..  I used to cook all the time..

11

Oh yes...I definitely had that!  It was at its worst about a year ago.  I would tell my husband that I felt spaced out and like there was a disconnect between my brain and my thoughts.  I had trouble staying focused and could only read a few pages of a book before losing focus.

I am thankful to say that now it is about 80% better and my brain feels much more "grounded".  I guess as our hormones adjust everything else does too.

Thank yu so much tm that's really reassuring....

That's how I feel, ungrounded...look forward to that......were you exhausted too?

13

Oh yes...I would get bouts of extreme fatigue and all I could do was sit on sofa doing nothing. I'm happy to say the fatigue has also lessened. Still have days where I'm tired, but not as bad. I try to remember to take multivitamin with extra B vitamins, eat healthy and avoid stress as much as possible(easier said than done..lol)

Thanks again......just felt out of it last few days and just lying with eyes closed.....thanks for the reassurance xxx

Try drinking much more water all day, and taking vitamins B-12 and B-6 in the mornings. I notice those all help me wake up my brain. Are you sleeping pretty well? Interrupted sleep over several nights really affects our ability to concentrate and remember.
