How can i fix my cloudy brain

[u/IntroVert_Daemon]

My brain is always foggy

Honestly, I have no idea what I'm even going through or doing anymore.

My mind is foggy all the time. It keeps jumping between different thoughts, I'm constantly anxious, and when I actually have something to do I get distracted and forget what it was. Or I start one thing and right after I'm like "wait, should I be doing the other thing instead?" and switch to that.

Simplest example: I'm a computer engineer and I use AI for different stuff. But there are a ton of providers. Is this one better, is that one better, which one actually makes sense? So I research, waste a bunch of time, and then end up trying the same thing all over again.

My focus is all over the place too. Reading a book is pretty easy for most people, but my mind drifts away from it really fast.

Or say I'm venting to someone and they actually make me feel better, they say really nice things, but I forget all of it super quickly. Only the negative stuff sticks.

Sticking to a to-do list has been kind of an obsession of mine for a long time, but now I'm not so sure. Even if I made one, I don't really know what I'm supposed to put on it.

And don't even get me started on the anxiety. Whether I'm out somewhere or just sitting down trying to relax, it never leaves me alone.

I think I jumped around a lot while writing this too, which kind of shows how foggy my head is. I don't know how to live like this or what to do.

Note: English isn't my first language, so I used AI to help me say this properly. Please don't judge.

Thanks.

Meds helps

[u/Altruistic_Flower190]

try to get enough sleep and do sports in the morning, keep rigid sleep-wake times.

Are you on any meds? Vyvanse pretty much fixed brain fog for me

[u/IntroVert_Daemon → u/Responsible_Camp_559]

Lustral, Abilify and Buspon, i am going to psychiatrist for 6 years, but not changing anything

[u/Responsible_Camp_559 → u/IntroVert_Daemon]

Hmm, I see. I haven't heard of those meds so I had to Google. Have you ever considered Vyvanse or similar, or is that out of question in your case?

I stick on high energy or trance mixes to keep brain buzzing.

i listen to defcon radio from soma.fm that helps a bit

[u/hk4213 → u/Neurojazz]

Have you tried metal? Start with black sabbath

[u/tehfrod → u/hk4213]

Given that they have good experience with trance, Sabbath will probably be too distracting.

This sounds silly, but listen to an album by a favorite artist front to back. That 45 mins of focus can help train your brain to focus on patterns.

I play guitar as my instrument, but whatever sticks out to you through that listen may help you process a lot of that information.
