Four years give or take. I might still get foggy every once in a while, but it’s due to normal things like not getting enough sleep. I’m so, so sorry you’re experiencing it now.

Working out essentially gave me a couple hours of clarity to do the necessary things to care for myself. Like going to the grocery store or cleaning my depression hovel. Like I said, I was not consistent at all. I was lucky to have a ton of support from loved ones. I ended up working some very physically demanding jobs, which helped a lot with the consistency, save for the toll they took on my body.

Over time those “windows of clarity” got longer. But again, it wasn’t until I started being treated for other conditions that my executive functioning really changed.
