Feeling very weird
I feel very mentally fuzzy. I’ve been depressed before and I know I don’t feel depressed but I am feeling just mentally off. I can’t really seem to get a grasp on anything, my short term memory is almost gone and I’m not as sharp as I usually am. It feels like I’m mentally underwater. Has anyone experienced this? Or know what I mean? How did you shake the feeling and over come the mental fog?

I felt like this from about 25 weeks until I gave birth and I still have days where I feel very mentally foggy. There are studies that prove that a woman’s brain changes during pregnancy, also showing it can take years to us to feel “normal” again. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/in-pregnancy-the-brain-changes-in-remarkable-ways-a-new-study-shows#Precision-imaging-uncovers-key-brain-changes-in-pregnancy Plus you just had a baby!

I had this all of my third trimester. I called it severe brain fog but that seemed like an understatement to me. It was hard to function and i felt half conscious almost? My vision was completely normal and yet i felt like i wasnt seeing correctly. It was very difficult to keep up with my job. That continued for me from 30 weeks on and then at 34 weeks i had a few episodes of stroke like symptoms where i had tingling, loss of vision, and trouble speaking/understanding speech. They never found out what was wrong with me even now, 6 months pp.
