anyone felt so disjointed that they can't write or spell properly?fo

[[Ru...]]

For the last week or so I have felt very strange. It is as if my fine motor control is totally messed. I try to write but feel to confused to get the words out like I mix up letters and words of things . I find the process of carrying out a task very difficult as even following simple normally automatic steps is too hard. It is not like a dr out of it though but as if the circuits of my brain are messed and my brain can't figure out what to spell let alone get the right word with the right letters in order and then make my hand transcribe this onto a page . My surroundings seem normal today but I have wickid mental dp and especially these cog and motor issues so hard. I feel like all I can do is lie in bed for fear that any task will so me how fried my brain is. I truly feel like my circuits in my brain are fried as even something like vacuming or figuring out how to unload the dish washer are too confusing. This is causing me panic as I don't feel I can even make my hands and brain connect and work together. As I said I can't even write a word without messing it up misspelling it and mixing up letters or writting the wrong word altogether. Has anyone else ever felt this messed up? Also my memory is so messed up I feel like the pieces of the day aren't even real and that things that happened earlier today could have happened weeks ago and are a distant dream. What is going on I feel so permenantly messed. Has anyone else experienced this?

my fine motor skills are all messed up, especially out in public or when standing and walking. It is like I can only do one thing at a time. I also noticed that my handwriting is pretty shaky when I write. I also have times where my hands don't feel like they are working right. Yesterday it was my right hand... today I am fine. I notice sitting down everything is easier for me.

This was happening to me a few days ago.  I was typing at the keyboard and I could not spell words correctly.  The odd thing was that I knew I was doing it but I couldn't stop.  I felt like I had to relearn how to type.  I have also noticed my handwriting change as well.

 

These days I don't worry too much about things like this.  Now that I know what withdrawals are capable of, I can see what a huge impact it's having on my life.  My focus is to break my dependency, with the hope that things will return back to normal.

Hey guys thanks so much for the replys do you find this a mental thing as well as a fine motor thing like there is a break in the connection between the 2 like you just can't mentall figure out how to perform thses skills as well as physically?

all I can say is thank heavens for spell check, I mix up letters constantly and and have trouble forming thoughts, I have been doing some really mixed up things lately, my husband and i are just starting to laugh at it all cause what else can you do? today for example I was brushing my teeth with an electric toothbrush and when I turned off the light and fan in the bathroom I continued to hear this weird noise like the fan was broken, about an hr later my husband went to check it out and it was my toothbrush , still on, vibrating away against the glass, dumb things like that are happening to me all the time, laugh if you can and realize its all part of the withdrawal, your brain will rewire and youll be fine again, Ladygrace

Yes, this was quite an issue for me during tapering. I really had to slow down and concentrate on each letter and if I let my mind wander, look out. I wonder if we have so much on our minds concerning our health it affects our ability to concentrate on the here and now as we are worried about our futures, like your brain is trying to find solutions to the problem and none of it is left to do what you are trying to do. Just my opinion, but it gets better, do not worry, you are just one us poor slobs going through this, I am past the brain tumor phase as I call it, maybe I just  wore out the subject in my mind!

Absolutely.

 

I have a close fiend in town and we are always comparing mental symptomS. We call this particular one "benzobrain" or sometimes just "effed in the head". It is a distressing feeling and can last for hours or days. Following conversations, writing email, simply doing basic daily task becomes incredibly hard. It's like losing the "plot" of why anything happens at all.

 

all I can say is that it comes in waves. It has not passed 100% for me but I suffered with weeks of it. Email was all but impossible to deal with.

 

Hopefully someday our benzobrain symptoms will go away forever...
