Anxiety, low confidence, depression, what do i have.?!
Question: Anxiety, low confidence, depression, what do i have!.!?
I hope some one with a good knowledge of how the brain works can answer!.
The best way of explaining this is if you can imagine a pc with to much information, so much that it slows down & cant operate properly or quick enough, well thats how my brain feels some times, its like every thing i do has to be thought out, and i cant seem to think properly or quick enough, but then saying that my reactions are super quick, ie; when i don't have to think like when a ball is coming at quick speed from no where & i only have a split second to think i can catch it, or if a glass falls of the table i catch it super quick, but when i do normal every day tasks i seem to have to think about it even when there is no thinking required!.
But when i have say two beers, this problem seems to go, because i just get on with things, & just do them with out thinking!.
I must add that i used to be on antidepressants for 7 years & smoked weed for nine, if that helps, & have been of both for a year & half!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
