Dealing with brain fog
My partner took his life 10months ago I'm struggling to cope with lack of sleep and brain fog. Financially I'm struggling and need to work but I am unable to think clearly?

Hey @cola82
I’m really sorry for your loss. It makes complete sense to be struggling to cope. That is a massive trauma to experience. Do you have anyone you can talk to? Would you be willing to see your GP or a psychologist/counsellor? This community is here for you.

Re: Dealing with brain fog
hi, im sorry for your loss and that youre going through a hard time. ive heard a lot online that there are a bunch of magnesium supplements (powders to mix and drink or oil sprays) that can help you fall asleep. i tried the spray last night and i had uninterrupted sleep for the first time in a few weeks. have you tried those?

Re: Dealing with brain fog
Sorry to hear your situation.
I second what @speedstar has said. That can help. I just found Healthy Care L theanine, magnesium and ashwaghanda blend is pretty good to take the edge off. Does not leave you groggy but slows down the nervous system and keeps a lid on things. Quite cheap also at Chemiost Warehouse.
Thoughts with you and all the best
