Thanks for this post. This is one of my biggest problems. I've been googleing "mental fog" and things like that trying to find something to explain what is wrong with me. It's so frustrating. My mom recently told me she thought I was "losing it" because I have become so forgetful. I can't bring myself to do anything, feel anything, learn anything. Nothing stimulates me. I feel half awake 24/7. I've been staying in bed a lot lately because that's the only place where this sort of feeling seems normal and I can forget for a while that my brain seems to be turning to mush. It's made my s.a.d. worse because I'm afraid people are going to think I'm drunk or something. And so I get drunk, A LOT, because that's another time when I feel like I'm feeling the way I'm supposed to. It actually scares me because I don't know how or if I even can fix it. I can't go through life like a zombie. At least it helps to know that it's something other people experience.
