Have you ever like you know you're brain is not used in its full capacity (and you somehow realize that) but you just couldn't seem to unlock its potential? I feel that all the time.. And it's hard to be creative because of that.

Have you ever had that experience? And how was it?

Hi,
It happens to many people! I do crosswords and often find my brain is slow or unresponsive. It comes down to tiredness and stress we don't perceive.

Yes. It's annoying and demoralizing when we can't access better capacities. I'm just spending today wasting away on the computer, can't bear the thought of applying myself to reading a novel, or god forbid, something more creative or productive.

All intellectual activities are challenging to all, but more so to people with certain disorders like ADHD or learning disorder.

When I was in a bad marriage for so long & anger was about the only emotion I felt it was like I couldnt even find the right word I knew I knew to finish a sentence. Meds werent helping except to cause horrible side effects so my pdoc who was into alternative treatments suggested omega 3 EPA & DHA was in the formula. I started taking it just before I left & moved 2100 miles away. I took the omrga 3 fir awhile & also just being totslly away from the horrible stress, it was like my brain just switched ON again. My 2 year DBT group just reinforced my working brain also even without the omega 3 which i just got tired of taking.

My brain is working better at 64 than ever before in my life. This has helped me realize just how much stress I was under in my childhood though it wasnt intentional by my parents. They were just dysfunctional with their own messed up lives...but it was a real eye opener to me past
