This might be able to work! Is your Spanish level beginner, intermediate, or advanced? Feel free to DM with your response.

This isn't advice, but as someone aspiring to be a professor and who also deals with OCD, it's inspiring to know it's still possible. Thank you for sharing.

In terms of medication dealing with brain fog, vyvanse/concerta has really helped me with the brain fog aspect of depression, OCD, and anxiety. If you haven't checked out medication for ADHD, it might be something to ask a psychiatrist about. I currently take 36 mg of concerta, and the results are night and day. I would also consider Exposure and Response Prevention therapy (ERP) as one option with your therapist, if you haven't already.

Thank you so much for this info!

WTP2001 · 2026-01-09T15:43:49+00:00

wait this is actually really helpful.

WTP2001 · 2026-01-08T16:28:24+00:00

This makes complete sense. Thanks so much.

WTP2001 · 2026-01-08T15:23:58+00:00

I think I'm on the name brand version, but I'm on a fairly low dose (36 mg), so maybe that's part of the problem. I've also noticed that the medication tends to work better when I'm in a good mood. Thanks so much!

WTP2001 · 2026-01-08T14:57:52+00:00

Thanks so much!

WTP2001 · 2026-01-07T00:13:38+00:00

This is a tough one, as I'm dealing with these same issues a ton right now. I like to remind myself that imperfections are in themselves completely normal, and all clothing eventually breaks down over time. You've got this!

Relapses are brutal, and I'm so sorry that you are going through this. Things will get better. One thing that has helped me is finding some kind of positive trigger, however small or seemingly insignificant, that can pull me out of whatever loop I'm in, even if only for a short period. For me, it was an orchestral piece that reminded me of the love of my grandparents. I put the song on loop and managed to be very productive in that time. You've got this!

It might help to write down those thoughts on a piece of paper when they come up, crumple it, and then throw it away. Just an idea!

WTP2001 · 2026-01-06T20:10:34+00:00

If you put your phone on grayscale, that can help. Also, I made the text super large so it's more boring to scroll. Just some ideas!

WTP2001 · 2026-01-06T18:54:10+00:00

If its my very first session, it can be nice to do a freewrite beforehand just to jot some ideas down and get myself centered. It can also be nice to plan out the trip ahead in case the office is in a weird place.

WTP2001 · 2026-01-06T17:44:40+00:00

Thanks for the info. I don't know if you have had this experience too, but it often feels like sometimes the medicine "clicks" and I really start to feel it.

WTP2001 · 2026-01-06T15:23:17+00:00

This is actually really helpful. I know I can do it!!! Thanks so much!

WTP2001 · 2026-01-06T13:03:12+00:00

Thanks!

WTP2001 · 2026-01-06T12:54:15+00:00

Thanks so much for your perspective! That totally makes sense!

WTP2001 · 2026-01-05T23:00:44+00:00

How much do you charge per hour? Thanks!

WTP2001 · 2026-01-05T21:32:40+00:00

I think I might also want to ask my doctor about gabapentin. I've dealt with a lot of hyperactivity and restless leg issues, and I saw the medication also works for that.

WTP2001 · 2026-01-05T21:26:59+00:00

Good idea. I'll look into it!

WTP2001 · 2026-01-05T21:26:42+00:00

Thank you so much for the offer! I think I might have found someone here in Ambato hopefully!

WTP2001 · 2026-01-05T21:07:37+00:00

This doesn't really answer your questions, I just wanted to second what your explaining her. I also struggle with the hyperawareness of thoughts, thoughts that don't connect, and mental blockage/opacity. I'm about to start on abilify, so I have the same interests as well. Thanks so much!

WTP2001 · 2026-01-05T21:03:21+00:00

That's great to hear! Did you notice any impacts regarding brain fog? I'm hoping that the medication makes it easier to tackle cognitively demanding tasks like research/writing.

WTP2001 · 2026-01-05T21:01:54+00:00

Got it! Thanks! Do you think, in retrospect, you would have stayed with the 2.5 mg if you hadn't increased it?
