Arte - I'm sure that if you found yourself in a stimulating environment free from child-generated distractions, you would reconnect with your intellect in an instance. (Am wishing same for myself, anyway).
In the meantime, it might be worth having a check up with your GP - anaemia can cause mental fogginess, as can insulin resistance and I'm sure other deficiencies or dietary imbalances could too. If it's something as simple as swallowing down some fish oil or iron tabs - worth investigating IMO.
Thanks for the replies. I am going to do a uni paper next semester to try to kick start some mental alertness
MD, I was planning on going to the Dr soon about my incredible lack of energy and both iron and diabetes are the top of my list of suspects so you could be on to something there.
Arte my sister was having confusion spells and it was getting so bad, headaches etc she went to the drs scared they were going to say she had a brain tumour...turns out she was anaemic (LMAO at her Dr google episode) but the symptoms were that bad, it was really affecting her functioning. She was veggo for a few years & obv didn't keep an eye on the iron.
ETA you can take fish oil too - the long chain fatty acids can't hurt with the cognitive functioning & good for your health otherwise too.
