My brain is mush

[Newnameagain111]

Anyone else’s brain feeling like a stagnant pond?

Mental agility has deserted me for months now, my mind is so sluggish sometimes I can barely seem to string a coherent sentence together.
I’m hoping it’s lockdown...

It could be lockdown, or it could be vitamin D deficiency, B12 deficiency, iron deficiency or thyroid issues?

Thanks Disressing times, will look into that!

Anyone else feel this way or is it just me 😬

Eek okay guessing most people don’t feel like this. Would it be a good idea to go to the GP then?

I think I would feel a bit silly as I am not feeling ill, just a bit ‘dull’ and not my normal self, I hope this isn’t the start of something more serious.

Yep, I'm with you op. I've put mine down to having a 2 year old and 1 year old. My mind has gone. I am regularly part-way through telling someone something and forget what the actual point I was trying to make was. Mortifying as I used to think I was quite intelligent. Not any more!

Post covid, my thinking was "OK, I get tired a lot, but work isn't remotely physical, that'll be fine"
Quickly realised that I wasn't just physically whacked out, but my mental acuity was completely shot.
Took another week off and slept... for pretty much all of it

Maybe you had covid, were asymptomatic aside from the fatigue
NHS descibes it as problems with memory and concentration, or "brain fog".

Ooh, thank you for posting that EveryDayIsADuvetDay. I was only saying the other day since having my first vaccine shot I've become so forgetful. I even Googled side effects of the vaccine in case it was one. Couldn't find anything.

I am forgetting things in english AND my native language and am often left standing there with my mouth open thinking how can that happen...
It's embarrassing 🤦
"So we will.... Err. Errmmm. Mmm. Ah. ... Yeah... Hmmm..... Mever mind"
This lockdown got to me.
