Brain fog isn't just slow thinking. It's the gap between how your mind works now and how it used to work. That awareness of decline is what makes it feel like a problem.

Brain fog isn't just slow thinking. It's the gap between how your mind works now and how it used to work. That awareness of decline is what makes it feel like a problem.
So if our brain is functioning normally, we'll feel more like ourselves and our thoughts will seem to be generated quickly. We may look and we may need to recognize something or remember something, and it will come at kind of the normal rate it does for us. When we have quote unquote brain fog, what starts to happen is these normal thought processes seem to slow down or maybe even be absent. And the biggest problem that people will see and report is that they know this is not how they normally are. They didn't used to be this way. So that is the biggest problem, is the noticing of the difference from before you had it to until when you do have it.
