You might just need some building up and replenishing some depleted nutrients like your B vitamins including B12 and you might want to try some CoQ10. It feeds the mitochondria in our cells and has been used in some Alzheimer trials and has shown promise in improving memory and cognitive abilities in Alzheimer patients. A good dose to try for the CoQ10 would be between 50-200mg. There are two forms available: Ubiquinone and ubiquinol. Ubiquinol is the more active form and tends to be more expensive, but your body will convert the ubiquinone form to ubiquinol you just need to make sure you take it with meals that has some fat as it is a fat soluble supplement. And a good b-complex with at least 50mg of all the b's (except for folic acid which comes in smaller microgram doses). And you might want to look for a separate b12 supplement that is sublingual and in the form of methylcobalamin as that is the most absorbable form. And because low levels of b12 affect memory.

There is also a whole line of supplements called nootropics that you might want to research that are designed for memory, cognition, alertness, etc.

Oh- CoQ10 is very safe to take in 50-200mg amounts. There are some people who are dealing with other issues (it's good for heart, kidneys and liver) that are taking 300mgs and up and Parkinson patients who are taking several grams a day. It can cause nausea, especially at the much higher doses, which is why it's recommended to start low and take with food. But it is generally free of side effects. And b vitamins are water soluble. What your body doesn't need it will flush out via the kidneys. But b-vitamins are really important for nerve (and brain) health.

I've observed that my logical reasoning became reduced, it's like I have a lower IQ. My memory is affected too, I often forget what I'm about to say or do, sometimes I struggle to remember some words and Im more sluggish than before. I thought It was going to be temporal, that I would heal when I didn't have the anxiety anymore but this didn't happen at all. I'm free of anxiety for months and I haven't improved.

I wonder if I can use self healing, or whatever type of healing, to recover my brain's health. It literally feels like some of my brain cells are damaged or something.

I would really apreciate some help.

Thanks.
