I went out with friends last night and I couldn’t keep up with the conversation at all, it’s actually a scary feeling because I feel like I’m drifting off into another zone when people are talking even when I’m generally interested; this has started about a year ago and has just gotten worse over time. It also happens a lot when my kids are both talking at once my brain shuts down and feels fried almost . 

Even when I’m looking at the tv I’ll look down despite nothing being there and catch myself to look back up. 

When I have intense anxiety I can’t remember how to do basic things ; I’m confused about how to use a fork; it feels weird when I hold it,
I’ve been playing the new Pokémon game and despite knowing all the buttons I find myself “guessing” a lot because I all of a sudden can’t remember

This started after I left my last job and got off my anxiety meds (lol) I wish I could reverse this I never had these issues before
