Have You Ever...? 

Come on...

Be honest.

Have you ever...

...wished someone Happy Birthday...

...only to realise it was actually your birthday?

🙋

Yep.

That happened to me.

Have you ever...

...walked into a room with a purpose...

...then completely forgotten why you were there?

🙋

Have you ever...

...opened the fridge...

...stared into it...

...closed it...

...then opened it again thirty seconds later because you still had no idea what you wanted?

🙋

Have you ever...

...looked everywhere for your phone...

...while you were actually talking on it?

🙋

Have you ever...

...spent ten minutes looking for your glasses...

...only to realise they were sitting on top of your head the whole time?

🙋

Have you ever...

...called one of your kids by the dog's name...

...then another child's name...

...before finally getting to the right one?

🙋😂

Have you ever...

...been in a lift on the ground floor, someone asked,

"What level?"

...and you replied,

"Just the basement, please."

There were only two buttons.

Ground...

(which we were already on)

...and Basement.

The guy laughed so much.

It took me a second to realise why.

😂

Have you ever...

...put your keys in the fridge while visiting someone...

...because you needed to remember to take something home from their fridge...

...and figured you couldn't possibly leave without your keys?

At the time...

It actually seemed like a brilliant idea.

😂

And then there's the one that gets me every time...

Your brain can't remember why you picked up your phone thirty seconds ago...

...but at two o'clock in the morning it decides to replay that slightly embarrassing thing you said ten years ago.

In perfect detail.

Why?

😂

The truth is...

Most of us have moments like these.

Sometimes we're tired.

Sometimes we're stressed.

Sometimes life is just busy.

For those of us living with chronic illness or brain fog, they just seem to happen a little more often.

Some days they're frustrating.

Some days they're embarrassing.

But every now and then...

They're absolutely hilarious.

I've learned that sometimes the best thing we can do is laugh.

Because if I can't laugh at wishing someone Happy Birthday on my own birthday...

...or confidently asking for "just the basement" when there were only two buttons...

...then life is going to be far too serious.

Brain fog might steal my train of thought...

...but thankfully it hasn't stolen my sense of humour.

💙

Now it's your turn...

What's the funniest thing your brain has ever done?

I'd love to hear your stories.

A Little Something That Helps Me 💙

One thing I've learned over the years is that while I can't stop every brain fog moment, I can make life a little easier.

Writing things down before they disappear from my mind has become one of my best coping strategies.

Whether it's appointments, symptoms, medication changes, questions for the doctor, or simply remembering what I wanted to do that day, having one place to keep everything has saved me more times than I can count.

That's one of the reasons I created My Health Companion – Calm Beneath the Storm.

It isn't about fixing brain fog.

It's about giving yourself one less thing to try and remember.

Because some days our brains already have enough to juggle.
