  • I have brain fog due to perimenopause. I used to be so smart - I have degrees in physics and statistics - and now I have to use a calculator for basic arithmetic. I'll start a sentence and my train of thought will just evaporate. And when I try to concentrate on anything even a little bit complex, I lose track of my thoughts, it's like there's TV static where my thoughts belong.

    And yeah, then the self-recriminations begin, plus a deep frustration that feels desperate and almost like rage and grief mixed together. And partly I think that's an overreaction, but then again, I'm not sure it is.

    It's horribly depressing to go from smart to dumb. And I know my situation isn't nearly as bad as yours, but please know you have my sympathy. It really sucks and I hope it gets better for you soon. 🤍

  • Short to medium length, I guess. I'm rough on my nails so I have a hard time growing them very long without breaking them. But they do grow quickly (thanks to biotin!) so they don't stay short for very long.
