Yesterday when my boyfriend and I were sitting on my couch. I hugged him and I happily announced, "I'm here!!" He said, that's great, but where have you been? I said that I had no clue, but I'm just so glad to be back. Later I described it as being here, but not really being here. I guess that I was in the fog and I hadn't realized it.
Today while we were talking on the phone, I tried to explain the "fog" to him. I told him that I didn't feel like I was one hundred percent back to myself until around dinner time yesterday.
When I come out of the fog, I don't think it is like turning off a light switch because it doesn't seem to happen like that. It is more of a gradual process for me to get back to myself. Hopefully the fog will stay away for a while so I can continue to enjoy my life!
He said that yesterday when we were face to face talking, that my eyes didn't look right. It was as though I was not recognizing him, almost staring right through him. When he asked me, if I knew who he was, I remember answering yes, but now I'm not so sure about my response.
