As I've gone through the years (late 30s), I can clearly feel myself getting less brainy... by that, I mean that I'm not putting together things as quickly as I once did. I'm also less creative, and overall, I feel less verbose and articulate. I've had some really stressful years, both workwise and otherwise. I don't *think* I'm depressed or overly anxious (in our 30s, we all have a bit of the anxiety, right?). So, is this normal? Do others have the same "brain fog?" If you do, shout it out. If you did, and you fixed it, I'd love to hear your secrets. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.89730 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 05:47:31 -0800 anxiety brain brainfog brainpower feelbetter hacks lesssmart stress Anonymous
