Hi,sorry I didn't see this earlier, I hope the psychiatrist was helpful.

I experience what I call brain fog for different reasons, sometimes I'm so tired I can't think or if very low, anxious or agitated, my mind seems to slow down and it feels like making my mind think is like wading through thick fog in a swamp.

My strategy is to try to give myself a lot more time to make any plans or decisions I need to and a lot of time to work out how to do what I need to like put a coat on or make a cup of tea. If I let myself do things very slowly, often I can do what I need to.

I also try to be patient towards myself and not be cross with myself if I make a mistake. Anyone could forget or lose something in a brain fog.

I also make a lot of lists to work through during the day with things I need to do, even including things like having dinner or taking a shower to help me remember.

I'm sorry you have to cope with brain fog and I hope you can find strategies to make it easier for you until the fog lifts.
