I have IBS and some days I have a really hard time getting anything done because of brain fog. I keep forgetting what I was going to do or, just feeling like the smallest thing like cooking is too overwhelming. I have to accept those days and just get through them. It gets worse if I start to get mad at myself.. I find it helps me to think of things in small steps. I just have to open the can. I just have to put the Chunky Soup in the pot. I just have to turn on the stove. I just have to stir it... etc. lol
I can see how small steps helps! It makes me think of What About Bob. "Baby steps to the door. . ."
