I can totally relate. I can't seem to concentrate on anything.
I agree with Jerz; ensure you talk to your doctor at regular intervals about medications. I am back on meds and sometimes I feel like they inhibit my ability to concentrate although this can be a double edged sword. When I first went on Zoloft 3 years ago, I thought that it was doing more harm, than good, but after awhile people around me noticed a difference. I was actually more focused on tasks while I was on it for about a year.
I am now back on it, but as Jerz said, anxiety can take your mind off of things and affect one's ability to concentrate.
Hi Aimee,
When was the last time you had your meds evaluated/changed. What are you taking and now long have you been taking it? Are you seeing a therapist along with taking the meds? Oftentimes the memory and concentration issue can be a side effect of the meds but they can also be from stress and anxiety. Most of us with anxiety have noticed the inability to focus at times.
Please tell us a bit more there is plenty of help in this forum
