I remember in August where i was just about to break out of my mental fog.  The month coincided with several significant events. 

1.       I was going for my final job interview for my current employer.

a.       I even prepared a 30, 60, 90 day plan to drive results for this position.  (Plan is usually not done until you are in the position.  Don’t ask how I could function while in mental fog.  The answer is “I don’t know.”

2.       Began a workout regimen since I was 50 lbs overweight

3.       Made significant diet changes so I can help lose some weight and my moobies (man boobies)

I remember my wife feeling pretty dejected and I mustered all my strength to say these few words.

“I’m sorry you have to put up with all of this.  I am trying to get better, and I promise to pull my own weight.  It’s going to take some time.  Please be patient.”

 

These few words took so much energy out of me.  I don’t know how else to explain.  I was worried I could not complete my sentences without the mental fog pulling me back into the abyss.  I had very little mental clarity, and I wanted to make sure what I was saying made sense. 

I just thought I would share what it was like to come out of the soupy mental fog.
