Fear of losing the ability to think?

[Anonymous]

I'm afraid of losing my ability to think, I always think what if my brain stops, but it's very strange, even this is a thought, how do I get rid of it, I'm very tired

You should be concerned. In fact, everyone should be worried because between mental illness and cognitive disability is the current pandemic. I work my brain every single day because if you do not use it you will lose it. Also the millennial generation is going to be the first generation to have some very young people in memory care facilities because they lack critical thinking skills.

You really consoled me😂👍

Not fear, but I usually wish the opposite. My brain thinks too fast, I often have to compensate to chill my thoughts out. It's not dramatic because I've had it covered for years but still gets on my nerves from time to time.

You worry to much about this, when its not even necessary.

I really don't have it

Do you have anxiety?

[Asker]

Yeah :(

[Jazzy54]

Oh okay. I figured. I have anxiety, too. Sometimes, irrational thoughts like that can creep in like that. Is the thought random or has it been persistent?

[Asker]

In fact, it happens all the time, but it has been going on for the last few days, it has been very severe for the last few days, I'm confused right now and it feels like I'm the only one experiencing this, there is not even a decent source on the internet.

Hmm okay. Are you on meds?

[Asker]

I'm taking medicine under the doctor's control, but it's not working

[Jazzy54]

Call him or her. You might need your dosage uped or completely changed. Medication for mental illness can be a thing of trial and error. I started out on Prozac (I also have major depressive disorder), but it gave me odd dreams. I informed my doctor, she changed it, and it worked perfectly. At any rate, I wish you the best. 😊
