I just feel stressed and can't think straight.

I can't think of complex things anymore.

There are many factors that contribute to that, what do you think it is?

@jdc7733 Cortisol effect prefrontal cortex yeah,so you need to either fix the mindset and all your thinking patterns based around that thing or you need to get small wins to increase dopamine.Or if you have a chance to rest few days so it comes back to normal.

Once you reduce your base level of stress and anxiety, getting out of your own head becomes easier.

Reducing cortisol is the goal

Look at

- Diets impact on stress hormones

- No alcohol, no caffeine

- Better sleep

- Exercise

- Relaxation techniques

- Avoiding toxic people and internet sites when you can.

Hope this helps.

Go watch a funny movie. And don’t feel guilty about it.

[jdc7733]

@Yimpa it’s okay - my life is a funny movie.

@ZenAlex thanks but I don’t even believe hormones exist, then again, I research benefits of healthy foods, even the I don’t believe foods contain those compounds, and, still believe they are going to benefit me.
