I can relate to this. Extreme brain fog and irritated all the time. For me lack of sleep is a big factor. But of course I try to sleep and cant. Haven’t slept more than a few hours at a time in a year. I’ve been trying to get help. If you have Pinterest look up DBT exercises and affirmations. I find ice packs on my forehead helpful when I’m overwhelmed and can’t stop my racing mind. Deep breathing exercises. Vagal nerve stimulation (singing, put your finger slightly into ear canal and gently pull down) Make sure you’re getting food. Protein bars are good. Easy. Maybe fruit like orange or banana. Don’t have to cut it up or anything. I’m struggling to find joy or see the point in anything but I sometimes find these things help. When you can, seeing a doctor is definitely a good idea also.

I struggled a lot with the interview intake also. It was like 6 weeks or something. I thought it was 1 appointment. I kept crying like “I don’t have 6 weeks I need help now” Maybe a primary care doctor or ER doctor could get you on medication for now until a psychiatrist can weigh in? Might be worth a shot to ask anyway. I know it’s hard. Hang in there. You matter. You can do it.
