As I’ve got a busy and stressful week I thought I’d make a quicker easier post and that is more brain fog stories as I have plenty of stupid brain fog moments.
- Forgetting my brothers name. Not just confusing the two but going completely blank and having to settle for child and then getting told off by mum because “he has a name”. I know he has a name but my brain was so dead in that moment it couldn’t figure the name out.
- Calling dad mum and vise versa – I did it twice in one evening a couple of weeks ago
- How do I make a bowl of oats?
- Completely misspelling words so they end up jumbles of letters
- Writing the opposite of what you intended
- Confusing words and names starting with similar letters
- Leaving house keys in the front door
- Forgetting to go to the toilet – yes I often wonder around wondering what I got up to do, go sit down again and then remember
- Looking for ice packs in the kitchen draws instead of the freezer
- Difficulty safely navigating streets and crossing roads when walking – my brain just struggles to process all the movement around me which is why I’ve not learnt to drive yet.
I hope these events show you the ridiculous things brain fog does to us multiple times a day and is somewhat relatable and helpful in helping everyone with brain fog feel less useless and alone!
Brain fog is curable. So don’t lose hope. The process that we can affect the degree of brain fog a person can get. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Drink more water and get plenty of rest. These are all factors of recovery. 😁
