I’m 46 and in the last couple of months or so have really started to struggle with concentration and my memory… I feel like I’m losing my mind! I’ve always been a bit of a procrastinator, but these last few weeks have been something else- I literally can’t seem to concentrate on anything for more than a few minutes. My job requires quite a lot of focus and ‘thinking’ on my own so it’s really starting to have an impact, I start a task and within minutes without even realising my mind has wandered and I’ve started doing something completely unrelated. It’s like my mind has gone off on a tangent of its own.
I’m also frequently losing things, finding I’ve put something down somewhere completely random… I never used to do this.
Does this sound like peri brain fog? Or should I be worried about something else? Sometimes I feel like I’m going crazy. If anyone has any tips for how to manage this I would be very grateful!
