Brain fog, forgetfulness, difficulty socializing

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and maybe found out how to fix it or where to start finding out what’s wrong.

Basically for the last few years I have felt very dumbed down and like I could have an ounce of intelligence but can’t get to it.

I forget things super quick like when my girlfriend will tell me about something important coming up I’ll try to listen intently and then have to ask about it the next time it’s mentioned and this is quite frequent. I simply forget everything like nothing ever mattered and it arises quite a few issues.

When I try to socialize I struggle aswell. I find myself practicing what I will say a million times before going to talk to anyone and then sometimes still manage to mess up or my mind will go blank. When people approach me once again my mind likes to go blank or stutter or just simply say stuff that makes no sense. Then after walking away and proceeding to rethink the whole conversation only then can I come up with what I should have said.

I usually struggle sleeping but even when I get good sleep I don’t really see improvement so I don’t believe it’s me being tired or anything.

Anyone have any ideas?
