Hey Freefallin,

I like how you described how you're feeling walking around as an automaton, because I also feel this and cannot focus on much, only this forum because it helps. I feel fragmented too, and pangs of anxiety jerk me slightly during the day unexpectedly.

Are you on medication too? Sometimes it can decrease focus more than usual in addition to your symptoms.

You mentioned your response time is slow, same, someone will also be talking and I won't even be hearing them but see their lips open and close as they are talking.
Also about your freelance issues, i'm sorry it must be kinda heartbreaking to not do what you love, but again, I have also had to give up my freelance job in something creative because of this debilitating MI- i'm not even sure if it is the MI, well I was 'alright' with focus before it got really bad.

So, I guess, we are pretty similar in terms of what is troubling us right now/concerns, sent you a friend request if you want to talk
