You’re manic OP. Try and enjoy the BPD.
can@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
Borderline or bipolar?
GluWu@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Yes
force@lemmy.world 7 months ago
BPD is borderline personality disorder

Damn OP is lucky, I get the opposite where every once in a while it feels like my brain suddenly downshifted and added a new layer of fog that never goes away, instead I just acclimate to the new feeling of reduced capacity.

The brain continues developing until around 25, especially the prefrontal cortex. "The development of the pre-frontal cortex of the frontal lobe allows us to process the pros and cons of a decision before it is made. “It lets us to do things most animals cannot,” explains Dr. Stanislaus. “Decision making, logical thinking, reasoning — all of those things happen because of the frontal lobe.”
Perhaps Anon also became able to afford/figured out how to sleep, eat, drink alcohol, etc responsibly and small successes built on themselves to better general health.

I noticed the same thing around 25, like all of a sudden I was capable of making better decisions on things that make my life better. It coincided with the average age of maturity for the pre-frontal cortex. Felt like a switch was flipped.
Anamnesis@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Wish this was me. I’ve been making the same dumb decisions since I was 20 and now I’m in my late 30s
Pencilnoob@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I felt the same effect about age 28. It was like I woke up out of a fog. So many things made sense. I also started getting a lot better sleep and exercise by then too.

I turn 29 next month and sometimes I still feel like I have no fucking clue what I’m doing
Like, I’ll be sitting in my bed trying to sleep and feel utterly confused about how I managed to fool everyone into thinking I should have my own bedroom in an apartment
I would like to awaken plase
zerosignal@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I’m 44 and I don’t feel like I know what the fuck I’m doing.

My brain fog lifted; people don't like it when they know you know when they're gaslighting you. Now I just wish my devices' (all of them) ai autocorrect brain fog would go away.

Sounds like a stroke to me.
yokonzo@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I literally had the opposite. Around 25, even though I’ve been taking my ADHD meds my whole life and actually feeling pretty clear headed and intelligent. Around that time a thick “brain fog” just kind of settled over me and ive been like that ever since
Wirlocke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 months ago
You can build up tolerance to ADHD meds, maybe ask your psychiatrist to take a break to get rid of tolerance? It shouldn’t be for too long.
yokonzo@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Oh wow, that’s a bit of a scary thought tbh, ive been on the meds since I was 12 and now I’m nearly 30. Maybe it is time to open talks with my psych about it though. It’s getting a little hard to obtain Adderall

What does it mean when you are already barely functional, and then when you’re 27 your mind literally goes to hell and when you get back to sanity you’re never the same and you hate everything?
