I suffer from GAD (mostly health anxiety related) and have been pretty much all my life (am now 31). It goes through phases, sometimes it's better than others. At the moment my anxiety is significantly worse, so much so that I have started getting almost daily panic attacks and my normal anxiety levels are at least a 6/10 ALL of the time. I am back in therapy, doing cbt to try to get it under control again. It's been difficult. Some days are better than others. For me the worst are the physical symptoms I feel and trying to ignore them/simply be okay with their presence - without thinking the worst or googling symptoms, etc.

Anyway, I also suffer from brain fog and sometimes I am totally clear headed and other times it's like my head is in a cloud. I can't think straight, my thoughts are muddled and racing. I mix up words, I'm forgetful...and it really freaks me out. Today is one of those days. I am really introverted and introspective and my internal monologue is always going and I find that I even mess up words in my THOUGHTS and not just when I speak out loud. Of course, I notice it right away and then I start to worry about it and freak out every other time it happens, which is often on bad days. It sets me on edge and I find it really hard to relax and just be okay with feeling off, instead of panicking about it right away. Does anyone else have this?
