Hi, I'm new here. I've been dealing with anxiety for a couple years now,
I remember my 1st attack which sent me into a whole new demension. I
felt as if my whole world changed in a split second, I couldn't catch my
breath, felt chest pains etc. From there on out, I've been on a crazy
rollercoaster.
Right now my symptoms are weird, it's mainly mental, I have horrible
brain fog, concentration & short term memory. I'm only 23 years old so
I'm a little confused as to why my brain feels 80! Like I can set
something down & 10 seconds later for the life of me can't remember
where it is, it's freaky! It happens a lot throughout my days & of
course I always assume it's brain damage or early signs of alzheimers
which wouldn't make sense.
I remember going through a really bad few months of
depersonalization/derealization after I quit taking my antidepressants which is when I really noticed this mental change.
Do any of you deal with this brain fog/confusion, short term memory this
bad? :( I feel so alone on this.
