Dear Kay:

“I do  not remember what else I asked.. this part of the conversation is blurry, I do not know why it is hard to remember what I said or what he said”- a person’s brain needs to be calm enough so to be able to focus and pay attention. When a person experiences intense anxiety, it means that the brain is overly-excited and is therefore, not calm enough to focus and pay attention. To a person with an overly-excited brain, much of what happens feels like a blur because the brain is not paying attention to details, such as words, and what escapes our attention, does not get stored in our memory.

Did we talk about ways for you to lessen and manage your anxiety, such as taking daily walks, listening to mindfulness guided meditations.. attending quality psychotherapy?
