My brother died suddenly in December, and it's been a really really tough time.
When he passed, I'd been in a new job for just six weeks. I've found the last few months to be overwhelming and I've now had to take some time off work sick. The time off has made me realise that one of the reasons I was exhausted all the time is that my executive function, which is usually okay-ish, has been severely affected by the grief. I am constantly distracted, unable to start tasks, really struggle to process information, and really forgetful. My brain is like a conveyor belt of constantly passing thoughts, none of which I can grab hold of and do anything with.
Has anyone been through similar, and have coping strategies and/or ways to improve executive function whilst under this much stress.
Thanks in advance!
