I'm suffering with horrible brain fog at the moment. I can't focus on anything and I'm falling behind at work. I'll notice that hours have past and I've barely achieved anything. I keep feeling tearful. The other day I was walking home from the post office and just zoned out. I suddenly realised I'd past the turning to my house and was halfway down the road. I didn't even remember crossing it and it really freaked me out.
I have chronic sleep deprivation as a result of a child who often wakes for the day before 5. I am generally bit of a day dreamer. But I definitely feel like I'm suddenly a lot worse. I've never struggled so much to keep up at work.
I'm 41 and have no reason to think it's menopause related. About a month ago my son accidentally smacked me quite hard on the top of my forehead with a wooden recorder. It hurt a lot and left a bruise but I was ok and didn't think too much of it. I had a headache and I remember the next day commenting that I felt a bit dazed.
Do you think it's possible that I have concussion and the brain fog is linked to that? I feel a bit like I'm losing my mind.
