for a decade now i've had a horrible mental fog. the closest thing i could compare it to is CFS. it has got progressively worse i used to be able to wake up from it 3 or 4 hours into the day. then maybe 8 or so hours. now i'm lucky if i wake up from the fog all day at all. i feel less awake everyday.

it's completely destroyed what life i could have had. my teenage years are over now and i've spent them doing nothing. i have not even messaged my irl friends in ages. every morning- today is the day i'm going to wake up from this fog! cold shower, brush teeth etc. then it's already noon, then before i know it the time is 10pm time to sleep and i had not felt like doing anything.

i can't shake it off, i've tried everything. getting into a routine starting my morning with a cold shower. finding things for me to look forward to and responsibilities to motivate me etc. i am more motivated than anyone i just can't get rid of this brain fog. it caused me to drop out of highschool because i could not focus.
the rare moments where i felt better i had to spend studying for the GED.

a doctor prescribed me cymbalta for depression which i don't believe i have.
and a different doctor prescribed me adderal to help wake me up in the morning. i've even tried going gluten free etc. i've tried whey etc, no matter how many scoops nothing helps me.

this is not even my only major health problem. i have pretty bad scoliosis and my lungs can potentially collapse again. i could have got the preventive surgery for it and have went back to lifting, but i can't enjoy lifting anyway either.

it's completely robbed me of everything. i have not even played video games. my mind is too dull and i'm not competitive enough. i need something and i don't know what. most of my doctors have given up on me and so has my family like i said, i have more motivation than anyone. i want to finish my GED and i don't want to be a loser /fit/.

i had just got done arguing with my parents they just want to send me to a home for autistic spergs or something. they don't understand how foggy my mind feels. they just think i'm lazy it frustrates me to no end.

i've wanted to write this post forever. but my life is just so pathetic. anyway i don't have any direction now. i need advice.

Play brain games or something. Read books instead of the interent. Learn a new language. Start playing chess. It will probably be hard to start with but as time goes on you'll graduallly be able to do more and more

put that adderall to use and start day trading
>>
Try choline bitartrate. If your daring look into nootropics. Exercise, good diet, get some sunshine. Supplement Zinc and magnesium into your diet.

After that build a routine that you have to stick to, then focus on building out a stronger foundation.

While I'm no doctor, two things to check

1. Autoimmune to include diabetes or any issue that fucks with your blood sugar
2. Check your oxygen levels.

> this is not even my only major health problem. i have pretty bad scoliosis and my lungs can potentially collapse again.

Brains use a lot of oxygen and sugar (or ketones, if in ketosis). Disruptions to either cause fogginess. Both are easy to have a doctor diagnose. You can try being a ketofag but that won't solve underlying endocrinological or metabolic issues to include getting enough O2 so see a Dr

I've been dealing with this shit for awhile now. I don't know of any silver bullets, but you can make things a lot better by trying some of this stuff. Note that you actually have to try it for awhile. You don't just experience recovery in days or weeks. It could take months, but it does happen and it's wonderful. I'm sorry you're dealing with this shit, bro. It ruined my life, too, but you can improve.

1) Get a high quality fish oil (removed mercury, dioxins, and PCB's) or microalgae supplement. You need the omega-3 fats to improve your brain, you're brain is comprised largely of fats. Avoid foods high in omega-6, it inhibits the absorption of omega-3 because 6 competes with 3 for absorption. A lot of western diets are high in 6.

2) Avoid stress. This produces cortisol and this will kill brain cells. You said you don't want to lift, but exercise relieves stress. You should really start exercising again, even if it's just walking. Walking 30 minutes a day improved my life.

3) A high quality magnesium supplement (malate or glycinate. oxide is cheap, everywhere, and high low bioavailability, so avoid that shit.) will help to lower brain inflammation. Spinach and lentils are high in magnesium. Get the organic stuff.

4) Avoid MSG and aspartame. This shit releases lots of free radicals.

5) Everybody says this shit, but it really does help - meditation. Start small, like 5 minutes, and it do it daily.

6) Get checked for Lyme disease and other infections. That shit will fuck you up.

7) Regular sleep schedule with plenty of sleep.

8) Get your test, estrogen, and Vit. D checked.

and do what >>38523204 said.

Don't give up, man. Do your homework and try to have a serious talk with your parents.

Also, a lot of gluten-free foods have lots of sugar, which might be why it didn't work. Stop consuming refined sugar.

duolingo has done wonders for me. i feel like im doing the same fucking around that i usually do, except instead of reading about sunken cities on wikipedia or on wtf a black hole is, im learning a new language. i wake up feeling accomplished and feeling like im actually working toward something constructive.

>tries nothing to use depression
>all out of ideas

I have very similar symptoms. Stretching and relaxing my neck and back alleviate the intensity of the fog.
>>
If the fog goes away after a heavy lifting session then congrats you have autism and normal sensations of life are overwhelming you when your body isn't otherwise occupied.
>>
I can not possibly imagine a worse experience than waking up from something like this 20 years down the line.
Take the advice anons have posted, OP, and get fucking better. I wish you all the luck in the world. Keep us posted!
>>
People telling you to supplement, wtf why? You would have to assume he is deficient in something, he hasnt mentioned any deficiencies. If there were, then his doctor would have uncovered and used that data to progress further into a diagnosis or pass him on to a specialist.
Its weird that the doctors have given up as you say, that actually sounds very fucked up. I mean this is the kind of situation that would spark my intetest, the doctors should take on the challenge.

Shoud be like, "Hi anon have no fear, for whatever you have, we are going to science the fucking shit out of this bitch".
