I have some friends on anti-depressants and when I ask what it's like, they say it's like being in a fog (well, some of them say that) - I'm not on any meds but I feel like I'm a fog all the time. Problem is, I have a really technical job and it's starting to affect my work, I can tell.
I'm really crap for exercising at the moment and I'm wondering if when I start to exercise if this brain fog will lift, or is it now a permanent part of being a parent? Every day now feels like I have space for 50 things but I'm trying to cram in 80 things so my brain just kind of shuts down whereas pre-baby I'd find a way to shove it all in. No idea if that made sense!
Here's an example - around 3pm today I forgot two phone numbers that I've known by heart for years. I knew the general numbers but couldn't be sure I had them in the right order. Part of me is like, crap, I have a real brain issue here, like I'm getting Alzheimer's or something. Or maybe this is what having a kid does to you, because you can never shut off.
I am waffling, I know, but this is what I mean - my brain is FRIED. Hoping exercise will help but is it now a lost cause?
