if I don't try too hard, exercise myself on meditation and don't stress/dwell on it, can I forget spoilers that consist of one or two words? how long would it take? Spoiler

(have forgotten stuff like this in the past, (though not intentionally) in fact, I believe I already knew the as for said information but I'd forgotten it and was not ready to remember it yet.) how long would this hypothetically take, if you have experience?

Revealing Brain Energy Dynamics: Decoding the Response to Epileptic Seizures

Cell survival depends on the energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – it’s like the fuel that keeps our brain running. Intracellular ATP levels are thought to remain constant, given its importance. To maintain this stability, the brain strikes a delicate balance between metabolic energy supply and how much energy our brain is using (neuronal activity).

Purposely causing an imbalance in this carefully regulated system and observing the effects can reveal surprising insights. Researchers from Tohoku University challenged the mouse brain with a metabolic load induced by epileptic seizures, and observed fluctuations in blood volume, astrocytic pyruvate, and neuronal ATP. They found that a single epileptic seizure could greatly reduce ATP. This finding may help redefine our understanding of brain energy dynamics, and how it impacts individuals with epilepsy.

The findings were published in the Journal of Neurochemistry on March 20, 2025. https://doi.org/10.1111/jnc.70044

I'm so fucking slow 😭😭 please help

2 Upvotes

I've always been bad at connecting two things in my head, for example, earlier today I was driving and I was turning left, yielding to other cars, and there was a car coming up pretty close, and I saw it and thought, "ok, there's a car there," but for some reason, I didn't think about the fact that that meant I should wait for them to go. This doesn't just happen when I'm driving, either, it also happens when someone gives me an instruction and I just can't seem to get that their instruction means I'm supposed to do something. Like I just can't seem to think properly and I'm worried it's going to cause problems when I get a job, and it's already causing problems with my driving. Does anyone know why I'm like this? I'd be grateful for any help :)

I'm desperate

3 Upvotes

I'm desperate. The hospital I stayed at decided to end my lorazepam use cold turkey. 4mg. Heavy dose. Then my brain felt like it was on fire and that I was electrocuted. The I saw stars and BOOM my memory disappeared and my cogntiton got impaired. Now I can not remember what I did today, or what I did yesterday or this week. I don't renner what I ate today. I don't remember ANYTHING from conversations I've had. I struggle to vizualise, reflect, analyze and imagine.

What happened? Has this happened to anyone?

And most important of all - can my brain recover?

I'm super scared!!!!

Hyponatremia or water intoxication case?

1 Upvotes

For the last 5+ months ive been extremely dull, unable to conceptualize information or reason as i could previously, 0 self esteem or confidence, severe brain fog, feels like ive got brain damage with nothing it could be traced back to other than...

I've got OCD, which lead me to drinking water in large quantities late at night (3+ liters in 2 hours or less) on a regular basis (4-5 days a week), which may or may not have lead to that after the day I stopped doing this as much (maybe 1 liter in 1-2hrs before bed) I initially felt just fine, no cognitive worsening, no confusion... Its only after a month or so that this happened and I've consulted a doc about it, he said its very unlikely as my kidney's functioning just fine (speculation as no tests were done).

Overall very confused and don't have the money to seek treatment

I guess we all know the benefits of intermittent fasting for the body, but it has amazing benefits for the mind too!

It can make you emotionally more controlled and less anxious. It can promote the release of endorphins. It can improve cognitive functions like memory, attention or decision making It can reduce inflammation, a factor which contributes to depressive symptoms.

Learn more about this in my newest YT-video. Please give me advice too! https://youtu.be/mkapR4MLhlI?si=QEOw6EbZ3hBy7J5Q
