24/7 Brain fog?

Naruto_2025

Does anyone else suffer with constant brain fog? 
I don’t know if I’m constantly burnt out, it’s the autism or something is wrong with me. I saw my GP about it and because my blood test came back ok it’s been dismissed. 
I feel like I would do anything to lift this cursed veil! It makes me feel like I’m intelligently challenged :,(

does anyone have any advice? Has anyone found anything that helps?

  • I think it could be chronic burnout. I thought I had long covid (and maybe that was part of it) as I was chronically exhausted and had constant brainfog and even resting didn’t seem to improve it. I had essentially given up and thought I would have to somehow muddle through in this incapacitated state, but then huge changes happened in my life and I took better care of myself and rested more and in a different way and now I have moments where I am alert again and I am convinced the brain fog is due to chronic stress exhaustion and burnout. It has been worse again lately probably because I have felt very overwhelmed with work and life in general. Not sure if this helps but I think it is easy to underestimate what an impact chronic burnout can have. In the past I was even off work for months but I never really improved in terms of brain fog- not sure if I just wasn’t allowing myself to rest (I hate not doing anything so keep trying to push myself) or if it was because I was not in a stable situation or if it wasn’t long enough. Don’t give up it can get better
