Who even am I?

That’s the question I found myself answering time and time again as I sat staring at messages not knowing how to reply, would forget what I was saying, whilst saying it, not be able to fulfil the simplest of tasks and forgotten how to function as the kick ass woman and momma I had been so not so very long ago.

It’s often one of the most troubling symptoms. Called brain fog it’s when you struggle to remember a word mid-sentence, forget names, find it hard to focus or put your thoughts into words. It’s particularly difficult at work and partly to blame for up to a quarter of women considering leaving their job. It can be so dramatic that many women are fearful they have dementia.

So, what is brain fog? It’s an umbrella term that includes forgetfulness, poor concentration, trouble finding words and confusion. 60% of women experience this, particularly during perimenopause.

I share my experience of feeling like I was losing myself and my mind so you can hopefully realise you aren’t alone. And maybe you just need to recognise it for what it is because you’ve actually been really quite concerned about your ability to function.

I hope you love it. Thank you for all the amazing support to date 🥰🥰
