I was diagnosed Anxiety disorder since 2017.
Got a severe headache. Brain fog, lightheaded, tight headache.

The serious problem now is i always feel tired in day time, if i wake up early despite enough sleep.
If i got nothing to do, i can sleep longer. Also causing tired after wake up due to active in brain in bad dream.
Because of that, i suffer memory loss, focussing, learning ability.
If i successfully change my sleeping habits, will my cognitive impairment can be recovered?

have you gotten sick after Oct 2019? Any cold or flu which mount be similar to covid?. Some patients whom have recovered from covid suffers Long covid symptoms. includes brain fog and depression..

No sick.

Just mental illness. Due to my sleeping habits, now i realize that my memory not so good.

Do intermittent fasting with keto diet

Cut sugar, snacks and all carbohydrate

If got budget , buy probiotic , enzyme and eat bone broth regularly

please exercise and eat vegetable daily

Tldr your guts fuck up after 30-40 years of wear and tear

May I ask how is your treatment for your anxiety? And r I on support of medication or talk therapy? Because this is severe and worrying.

Medication. The last medicine i took is brintelix.
The problem of my anxiety is giving me the headache which cannot focus. My eyes see the thing, but cannot process.

2019 i recover, no more headache. Now mco3, it hit me back. Due to depression, then sleeping problem and many things to worry. Really 2021 is suck year.

yeh. i suppose the worrying thoughts is getting obsessive and can’t be detached from the mind. and it’s getting intensily overwhelmed your attention and making it difficult for you to process external sensory informations.

yes. i’m glad you had a recovered experienced. but it is very understandable due to this saddening circumstance it retriggers a new loop of worries and anxiety, unwillingly and unintentionally. and that intensity disrupt you sleep even though you are extremely exhausted by it. further chatasotrophizing your circadian rhythm. which is even tragic because it reduces your attention span, memory, focus and immune system.(especially important due to this covid.)

and due to that. your ability to control variable of both internal and external ability factors are reducing and leading to hopeless, because less n less things you are able to, within your control.. spiraling into depression.

i would suggest you to seek medical support immediately and share you health status with a trusted therapist/members of family. i will not ask u to let go of the worry because it’s realistically almost impossible in this stage. but to get temporary medical support, atleast to have some restful sleep between the worrying episodes. and hopefully by the rested sleep regain/recharge some of your attentiveness and refresh your mind.

therefore, restore and sustain some of your basic vital functions without it spiralling into severe depression. example inability to eat, think, sleep, wake or talk.

and find immediate support from others/members or friends to relieve parts of your burden because the burden is way to heavy to be supported by you alone. and your current stage is more vital than your worries now. as, if u are more healthy, only that can sustain you to solve any external issues in the further run.

please i do hope you get rested. i’m so sorry for what you are going through. i wish you would have more relief even temporarily.


*also to add on. your tiredness and sleeping longer and bad dream is understandable. because my experience was similiar. even doing nothing, sleeping all day. similiar to traumatizing events in the brain, your brain in extremely overactive. therefore you need more and more sleep. because the worrying is subconsciously looping over and over the multiple scenarios, by automation. having bad dreams is a signal that the brain is working extremely hard and tiring at the same time exhausted. highly draining and experiencing something traumatizing alike. an example is: being drowning, drowning. Exhaustively drowning…

so u manage to recover?

Ya for now

What way u use to recover?
Especially the long sleeping. I dunno if i take flu tablet will cause any side effect or not just to switch off my brain.
I want to recover my brain only. I can't focus, i keep forgetting. This is very affecting my daily life.

Initially antidepressant and anti-anxiety as relaxant. As the quickest way for me, advice from my doctors to give relief first.

After I gain back some basic essential functions, work on sustainable major long-term lifestyle healthy changes. Mainly optimising stress reduction on the 3 main core health pillars. Bodily stresses, mental stresses and social financial stresses.

This is the longest and hardest part but totally worth after I look back and very life changing skills to have in life.

Then keep practising on the skills to have more resilience and spatial flexibility in my health and life in general.

How are you doing there bro?

Getting worst
Planning to see doctor this week.
Brain fog is killing me + the depression.

Oh ok. Do update us what the doc says to help u 😉✌️

Well, doctor diagnosed me very critical depression.
Take brintelix again.
I'm not sure I'm able to go through this.
Yesterday had a bad news impact my feeling. Feeling suicide.
Although my brain tell me go find thing to work, don't sleep, don't think. But something pulling me to not get the 1st step. Feeling hopeless.

curious bro did you start of with brintelix or had you were given other medication before that? because most doctors usually starts with ssri antidepressant, then change to other type of medication if it stops working.

btw to answer your question, yes, changing your sleeping habit might work to help with your anxiety at least for me. if you drink coffee and smoke cigarettes it might better that you cut it down or stop altogether.

if that doesn't help, i think you are probably experiencing antidepressant discontinuation syndrome and you probably need to take your medication back.

If you are a man, have you ever checked your testosterone?
Might be hormone issue.

Bad bad advice.
Keto is stupid.

You need carbs for your brain to work properly, your brain don't fully work properly in keto.
Keto also rapidly accelerates heart attack risk and atherosclerosis since you be eating so much meat/oil.

You should eat a balanced diet of fat, protein and decent amount of carbs. NOT KETO.
The OP instead can try LOWER his carbs abit and stick to low GI carbs to see if it makes a difference.

How's are you TS? All ok now?

now always sleep late.
too busy like not enough time.
now headache is sleep late wake late type.
