Mine is when I went to put my phone in my pocket but then I wasn’t wearing pants so it fell to the ground and I just stared at it for like, two solid minutes.

today’s brain fog story is I threw my watering can in the trash after watering my plants

i wore my panties into the shower once B)

I identify strongly with both of these. I always throw stuff in the trash can that I don’t mean to when I’m foggy, and I’ve worn my undies or also my socks into the shower more times than I can count.

One time I forgot the word for budget and I said “money diet” instead

I forgot the name of my best friend and which caused me to become an emotional wreck.

After I finished ringing a customer through at work I said “whenever you’re ready” instead of “have a nice day” and got confused and stared at them for a solid 30 seconds before correcting myself.

I put the coffee creamer in the dishwasher instead of the fridge

I got into my car. Forgot why. Drove around the block trying to remember then went hone. I had a nap when I woke up I remembered it was school. I had fucking school to go to. Something at the time I did almost everyday.

My brain fog moments include: putting milk in the microwave and the kettle on the fridge, forgetting to wear shoes to school, constantly forgetting why I came into the room like a sim with a cancelled action. My brain fog even extends to me forgetting how to put words together to form sentences which is really upsetting.

My definition of brain fog would probably be the mental equivalent of trudging through waist deep water. Sometimes the water and the day is cold and bitter and horrible. Sometimes it’s warm and sunny and the water is nice, just dragging.

I went to refill my cat’s food and water dishes and ended up putting the food and water into a pot and started cooking it like soup, the kitchen started to smell before I realized that wasn’t what you’re supposed to do.

My description of brain fog (on the rare occasions I try to explain to non-spoonies) is either
“It’s like trying to think through a brick wall – the stuff is in my head but I can’t access it”
Or
“It’s being so tired that forming a coherent sentence is hard”

i walked out of a restaurant with the restaurant cup still in my had. everyone including the waiters were starring at me while i was walking out and i couldn’t figure out why so i just kept walking.. until i got in the car and my friend was like “when she steals the cup”

I also took home a walmart grocery basket. I put it in my car and got in my house before I realized I should have left it at the store.

Took the dog for a walk without pants

Luckily I had a long tunic on, but didn’t realize it until we got back to the door.

Recently I got out of the shower and started brushing my hair and thought “why isn’t it tangled at all?” because I didn’t wash it…

I also like to almost pump hand soap onto my toothbrush and then I just kind of freeze trying to figure out what’s wrong with this picture.

I lost my phone in the freezer for a few days. Still worked (thanks rice)! I thought my laptop was stolen when I went camping and freaked out super hard. I forgot to ask myself why I’d bring a laptop on a camping trip on the first place (that shit was at home on my bed). I’ve forgotten the names of my relatives and friends and teachers. Last night I enthusiastically said hello instead of goodbye to the nice people at the gas station. Like super enthusiastically. Brain fog is a silly thing

My phone started ringing while I was holding it, playing a game or something. So I set it down so it wouldn’t be in the way while I looked for my phone that was ringing.

Also, many times I will be on my way somewhere, driving my car, and I will suddenly worry that maybe I forgot my keys at home.

Also when I’m put on the spot I’ll completely blank on words. Including my name.
