With this, I mean things like memory loss, problems concentrating, difficulty following TV plots/conversations, planning and problem-solving, etc.
I am struggling so badly with crippling depression and associated cognitive impairment. I was diagnosed some years ago with major depressive disorder but it's wreaking havoc on my functioning. I feel like I've lost 50 IQ points. A large part of my ongoing anxiety is due to these cognitive problems. I am assured by the doctors that my brain and such is fine, and I just had a brain scan. I know logically if something was wrong, it would have showed up. And yet I just can't relax or feel at peace with it. I struggle to concentrate on anything and I can't absorb things. I barely remember what I did yesterday. Everything is a fractured blur.
Guess I am just hoping to find others who know what I'm going through.
