The “fog” and stress

July 20, 2018 (Chapter 1 Symptoms & Diagnosis, Chapter 9 The Fog & Chapter 11 Stress and Anxiety in my book)

I know that "the fog" invaded my brain much more often when I was working six days a week, two jobs. I also know that stress will make my symptoms much worse. I was working 32.5 hours at a school and sixteen hours at a retail job equaling 48.5 hours per week. I think that the stress of working that many hours was definitely causing the fog. Because I do a lot of journaling, I know that I was having fog just about every day and on some really bad days the fog arrived several times during one day.
