I have been dealing with extreme brain fog that has been almost permanent for the past two months. About three weeks ago I had severe vertigo for a full week to the point where I couldn’t stand up without feeling like I was going to fall over, I don’t know if it’s related or not. That went away but I am still in constant brain fog feeling where I don’t feel real, I feel dizzy, like I’m gonna fall over, and it just doesn’t stop. I’ve already been to the doctor to see if I have an issue with my ears and my vestibular balance system, nothing was wrong. So now I have to get blood work done just to make sure that it isn’t a health issue. I do think it’s anxiety just because if I distract myself enough the feeling goes away until I remember that I’m supposed to be feeling it and then it comes back. But it’s debilitating.

I have this extreme fear of passing out or having a seizure. So this feeling makes me feel like I am about to have both of those things, though I never have. You would think that that would ease my mind with the amount of times I felt this feeling and nothing has happened, but every time I worry that that moment is going to be the moment where something happens. And it just continues. It’s affecting my life it’s affecting my job I’m literally sitting here thinking about quitting because I haven’t been to work in almost 3 weeks due to this feeling. My job is a great job, it’s full-time, has amazing benefits and decent pay. I can’t afford to lose it but I’m afraid. I do have a slight worry that it is a neurological issue but I don’t know. Today while I was typing, I forgot how to spell the word white and it scared me a lot because I’ve never been that clueless on how to spell such a simple word, so it sent me into an even bigger brain fog attack.

has anyone else ever experienced this? if so how did you get over it?
