I have Brain Fog omg lol

[Darkpk55]

Someone asks me a question, I get this blankness in my head. Especially when explaining or talking. This effects me daily and it's not from anxiety.

I really don't know how my statement is going to come out when talking or writing. I just start, and from there, I figure it out. I can't think of the words my sentence is going to have . I can't think of what I'm going to say.

So, how can I be a nurse when I have brain fog all the time? I don't know. I guess I'm going to have to try my very hardest and see a speech pathologist or something.

If I'm asked what the urethra does

First I'll say "Urine"

Second, "Urine comes out of it"

Third, I'll say "urine leaves the body through the urethra"

"What is a crop"

First, "bird's have crops"

Second "They store food"

Third" Birds need alot of energy so they need a crop to store food"

If you guys say I can't be a nurse because of this, well I can't for anything else either then... I'm trying my very hardest and best. I'm not giving up.

Just wondering if anyone else has this, and if there are ways to get through school with it. I finished most of my prerequisites, including Micro, and A & P 1. Both A's, it's just that I have this problem with language ugh.

My family always goes to me for advice, I am really good at giving advice and explaining whats good and whats not. I guess like a counselor... I do explain certain things very well, just don't know why this happens for other things.

I still don't know whats going to come out of my mouth when I'm about to speak though.

My daughter told me that she noticed something like this with my grandson, and sure enough he had some tests at school, where they said the results showed that he had problems with auditory processing of information. I have noticed it in him myself. There is always a slight hesitation, and then it seems as if he "gets it" "wrong". I've been having problems with words lately, but I think there is a different reason. It would be nice if all of us could get a complete diagnostic workup of our brains and an education about any limitations we might have. Done early enough in life and a person might have a good chance to develop coping skills. I would advise you to look into your use of coping skills. At least you are aware of what is happening, so that you can investigate and take steps to mitigate the effect on your everyday life.

Are you on any medication? I don't mean for this, I mean in general. Sometimes that can alter your thought processes.

If you have always been this way, I would suggest speaking with a Speech Language Pathologist. There are conditions out there that alter and effect a persons ability to express speech, writing, etc.

I wish I could replace those brain parts that are impaired. I also figured out why I get this blank mindess too. Since i dont know how my statement will come out, Its hard to find words that fit it. Just have a hard time thinking i guess.

When I use critical thinking, I dont really think or talk in my head. Its more like when you see a bannana up in a tree and throw a stick at it without thinking. Thats how i actually think.

Thanks, im going to find a speech pathologist in my area then.

I have ADD and have been taking adderall for 2 months but it doesnt seem to help, maybe because its a very low dosage. Gonna see psychiatrist then too.

I know that some people with ADD have similar symptoms, but it doesnt affect them as much. My mom and sister have the similar symptoms but they dont really have trouble talking. I just hope things get better for me. Im trying so hard and its like nothing is happening.
