Foggy head?

[fieldmouse3]

Does anyone else feel like someone poured molasses over their brains? Kind of a funny image, but that's how I feel most of the time. I can concentrate fine...it's more of a physical sensation, and it seems to be worse when I'm ignoring how I feel emotionally.

Hey there

I know what you mean. Sometimes out of nowhere my head will feel all buzzy and strange inside. Most of the time this happens I have a hard time concentrating and I feel fatigued. My therapist says it's when my body gets so overwhelmed with emotional pain that I shut down and can't feel anything - I numb myself.

Good luck, I hope things straighten out for you. Have you tried doing breathing or mental imagery? That might help sort things out.

I think I can understand what you two are talking about. A few years back, when I was living in a halfway house for women with chronic mental illness, I felt like that all the time. I was just so overwhelmed by what had happened to me lately, and what was happening, that my head was in this fog all the time. I barely spoke, so people thought that I was a lot more disturbed than I really was. Plus I think I was really overmedicated. I'm doing a lot better now since my medications are balanced and my moods have stabilized. It's interested what happens when we ignore how we feel mentally and emotionally - it manifests itself in physical symptoms. I've had that happen as well...
