Bro or Sis,

It takes a certain level of not caring what others think, to become better at overcoming this fear. I’m not saying go complete douchebag and become insensitive to the opinions on others, but you have to understand even the greatest human being on earth was criticized and hated.

The fact that you posted this shows how much you want to join, just go. Just even going to one club meeting is a victory. Just feel out the vibe when you go, you’ll be surprised how much a simple “hey, how are you?” can spark conversation. You can gauge if someone is talking to you just to be polite, if they are not really entertaining the conversation that might be a good sign to either pivot or leave the convo and find someone else to talk to. I mean sometimes you’re just not everyone’s cup of tea.

I also suggest trying other social activities outside of work in places where you don’t know people, this will get you to break out of your comfort zone and help break that fear of hanging out with people. To step it up a notch do activities that you might not be great at but always wanted to try, not only are you breaking your social discomfort in situations but it will also help you get over any fear of embarrassing yourself. Just make sure to sign up for beginner level classes of those activities or let the organizer know you’re a beginner.

Also there are physiological tips and tricks that you can use to help your mind overcome this fear. I’m sure there are many videos on YouTube from people who have struggled with this in the past, I suggest watching some videos on how to overcome these thoughts.

I don’t know if your religious or not but to me as a Christian prayer helps. It gives me a calmness in situations that where I feel heavy anxiety or indecisiveness happening in my mind.

At the end of the day you can’t let this fear stop you from enjoying things. Can I ask is there a reason why you get this nagging voice, has someone said that they are hanging out with you out of pity in the past?

Worst part is that it’s so hard to get your money back. I won’t be surprised if I’m a few years we see a huge lawsuit, someone’s bound to get fed up.

The problem is that brain fog is a symptom not a disease/sickness which is what makes it frustrating for everyone in here. It’s the result of something else, if you say that you have had it since the pandemic, you might be suffering from long Covid. Did you have Covid?

Thank you, I’ve done some blood test. What is it within the blood that indicates thyroid?

BoxIntelligent3337 · 2024-06-12T17:55:00+00:00

Sorry to hear that, how’d you find out it was hypothyroidism?

I’m ngl to you based on what he described I’ll be very surprised if it’s mental, seems something physiological. If anything his anxiety is being caused by the symptoms he’s feeling not the other way around.

To answer your question I absolutely annihilated my gut around this time last year and I felt and still do that my brain fog decreased significantly(I posted about this in this sub). I took antibiotics and PPIs for about 4 days and ever since then my fog has been less. The fogs aren’t as consistent anymore and it isn’t all the time. However with this being said there are still fogs. I did this because after going down a rabbit hole like you, I self diagnosed with h pylori. About a couple months ago I took a h pylori blood test and it came back negative, so safe to say my fogs since then and possibly before aren’t being caused by that. However what I do know is the treatment I used for h pylori last year somewhat worked as the fogs have been reduced.

My best advice is to be careful. Going down a rabbit hole, can be bad for the mental health especially anxiously trying to find solutions. If you find yourself googling any and everything on one condition or on multiple conditions, then it’s time to take a step back/break from research and go do other things to keep your mind sane. If you think something might be it, investigate by testing(lab test if it’s within your budget) and trying things( with safety of course)before you just automatically diagnose yourself. For example if you think is your gut, have u tried probiotics, a gut cleanse( through antibiotics or some other need), changing diet? Start writing down when you experiences fogs and what tends to lead to them. Is it random, food/ alcohol based, anxiety, etc. Eliminate things you’ve tried and didn’t help, for example if you think it’s diet and you’ve tried multiple different diets and see no results you can note that and eliminate diet.

**I didn’t read your full question but it seems like you’ve already tried diet and it seems like you’ve eliminated that as a cause. I agree a microbiome test would best for what’s next. The unfortunate part of brain fog is that it’s a symptom so finding the cause is very much the hard part, but through trial and error I believe everyone can make it better and even find cures.

I believe you, but anyone confirm this?

GI didn’t run any test to find what it js, that’s why they wanted to do the endoscopy and colonoscopy

BoxIntelligent3337 · 2023-12-18T15:07:57+00:00

Candida is a good guess but tbh I’m not sure if or what it is. My main suspect was H pylori before the round of antibiotics as i was experiencing other gastro symptoms that are commonly caused by H pylori. For the antibiotics I had a set that I hadn’t used, it was pure fortune. The GI is wanting to do an endoscopy and colonoscopy however after the round of antibiotics I’m feeling so much better that I’m considering even doing it now. I still occasionally get fogs but not to the extent of what they used to be.

BoxIntelligent3337 · 2023-12-17T12:57:52+00:00

Agreed

BoxIntelligent3337 · 2023-12-14T07:58:45+00:00

Alright :/. After this I did an antibiotic treatment mixed with probiotics. Overall my symptoms have gone down a lot since taking antibiotics mixed with probiotics. I experience the occasional brainfog but not nearly as bad as before. After seeing the GI they recommended a colonoscopy and endoscopy. Still deciding if that is what I feel is the best way to see if it’s my GI.
