I feel this one. Sometimes I just wake up and I'm "not myself". It really sucks because I depend heavily on my personality and communication skills for my job. So when I abruptly have one of those off days it can really fuck me up. I always have this fear that it'll happen on one of those important work days that I'm doing something like a presentation in front of 60ish engineers and opening up the floor for questions after.
I have found things that have helped over the years but nothing has completely gotten rid of it. I try to eat right. Not daily but at least the vast majority of the week.
Omega 3 is a godsend! I also take other supplements that help but omega 3 really does the heavy lifting. That and mythaline blue (fr, look it up).
The brain fog I'm referring to is severe sometimes. Like I feel like I'm not in my body. I'm more like an observer watching myself with the inability to act normal. Like I'm completely disassociated. It's fucked up and I hate it...
Fortunately since I have started taking various vitamins and supplements morning and night, exercising, and eating better it only happens maybe once a month instead of a few times a month...
