Many of you probably have heard of the words brain fog. But have you experienced it? Unfortunately I can say I have on many occasions. And there are many reasons for this. It could be health related, stress, lack of sleep, medications, food allergies, depression, hormones, etc. Many causes and sometimes the cause is unknown. There are also many symptoms. Headaches, fatigue, unable to concentrate, mood swings, low energy, confusion, irritability, etc. This is a hard condition to diagnose as it could be so many other things going on. The best advice I could give, since I have experienced first hand is to chill. Unplug. Relax. Deep breathing. All of these things help me and sometimes I have to walk around outside to clear my head. I felt the need to write about this as a friend from a world away just called and was explaining how she felt. I told her she sounded exactly like I feel when I have this brain fog. When we are going through something we have never experienced before, it is a comfort to talk to others who have been there. They are usually the ones who can help. Good luck to those going through difficult times.
By the way, the photo is a sunset I took awhile back from my deck. I edited it and it is so how I feel sometimes.

A wonderful post … this happens to me this often
Thank you very much for commenting.
I can honestly say there are many mornings I awake in the fog. It sometimes takes more than 2 cups of coffee for the fog to lift!
Mine takes days sometimes Doc. Not a good thing.
I had never heard about it before now, Carol. I sometimes have some of those symptoms but first time I hear that name.
There are many names for it, and these symptoms can also be fro other conditions.
Intersant photography.
I did not know the name that you described.
I had some of these symptoms.
Then the walk of me started to relax.
Thank you on article Carol.
I edited my sunset for the photo. Kind of how I feel sometimes.
The symptoms can mean other conditions but I have PTSD,
and a list of other things going on, so this is what is called
in my situation.
It’s always better to hope for a situation.
Although we know how HOPE is deceptive.
Absolutely Robin. I know you speak from experience.
Great post. This happens to me more often than I would like.
I am sorry you can relate Brenda. Take care of yourself.
I get this a lot…especially when my sugars are high. Great post about it….nice to know I’m not the only one!
Same here!! Happens to me mostly after a rich meal.
Never thought about that situation Courtney. You are not alone.
I forgot to add this is my Day 274 in the 365 Photo Challenge.
Blaming my forgetfulness on the brain fog.

I get brain fog when I am trying to multitask too many things around 4 AM
I could not multitask at 4am… I don’t think I could
I can do it just fine until I take it one task too far and then the whole thing collapses…
