Head feels like mush - normal? Medication ?

[concerned101]

Like I’m swimming through bloody toffee . I don’t feel ill at all in any way and had no contact face to face with anyone for 61 days, not been for more than a mile or two’s walk but I’m exhausted . Little things like if I go on my phone I totally zone out , have conversations but forgotten them within minutes ... dsis rang earlier and I’ve forgotten completely what we were discussing and didn’t realise she had hung up !

I’m on sedating antidepressants and propanolol so wondering if that’s the cause . It’s getting me more anxious as I don’t feel with it at all, which I think is making me more tired ... I’m fat as well (properly fat, I’ve a bmi of 42) so maybe that makes it all worse .

Not sleeping good either, Fitbit says I’m awake about an hour + most nights and restless as well, HR spikes a couple of times a night so assume I’m having nightmares . Often wake up absolutely exhausted .

What can I do? It’s obviously not a GP issue at all but I’m struggling and worried .

I have this and so does DP. We call it 'lockdown brain'. We aren't on any meds and aren't especially anxious, but the stress and exceptional circs do take their toll. I'd try not to worry about it and be kind to yourself where you can. I'm writing everything down to make sure I remember things and setting alarms on my phone where I need to, which is a lot (putting bins out on right day etc).
