For the last 2 weeks I have been dealing with a sudden and unfamiliar feeling that started when I woke up last Monday. Since then, my mind has been in a consistent fog / daze, my stomach is in knots, it’s been more difficult than usual to concentrate. I’ve caught myself just staring blankly at things whether it be my work computer, the tv, phone screen, etc. I’m not comprehending anything I’m viewing, just staring. It’s like my mind is blanked over. When I’ve been at work the last week I felt like I was legitimately mentally blacking out while talking to colleagues or completing some assignments. Weirdly my symptoms aren’t always present, there are times when I feel mostly normal (mostly able to occupy myself with other things distracting me from whatever this is I’m dealing with) - typically night time.

I’m quite terrified of whatever this feeling is. I’ve never dealt with depression or anxiety, I’m typically a high performer at work and high functioning in life. I just feel so incredibly off and I can explain or point to any causes of why. Not sure what advice I should be seeking currently to address the issue. My physician didn’t see any immediate concerns with my health.
