Hi Alberto. I have mild OCD tendencies, but my bigger problem has been GAD and panic attacks. When my anxiety was much more severe than it is now, I often felt like I was in a brain-fog and some days I felt like I was on auto-pilot -- like I wasn't fully lucid and wasn't fully present while I was doing things. I was still able to do my job and talk to people, but it was like I was experiencing everything through a haze. My doc told me it was because my anxiety was using up such a large part of my brain. That constant heightened state of anxiety is exhausting to our bodies and our minds.

You should talk to your doc about what you're experiencing.

I get brain-foggy from my medication now, but it's different (and not as surreal a feeling) as before I started taking medication and got my anxiety under control.
