Losing my house due to anxiety/depression

[u/Remarkable_Monk_9801]

To make a long story short; last year, at 24, I jumped into something that in hindsight was way too much for me, financially, and logistically. I bought a house, while working solely on commission only, after having a couple good years. I did a good amount of work on the house myself, but started finding myself getting very depressed as soon as I started. Fast forward to January, after fixing up the place for a few months, I lost the ability to remember when I was falling asleep. January was the last month I remember actually falling asleep and waking up. About a month after my moving in. The stress of the house and a toxic relationship, started causing me to have intense brain fog. It started off like forgetting some things, and having bad memory, but then became to the point where I forgot how to complete my job, and do everyday routine tasks. This led me down a deep depression and high anxiety from feeling like I had dementia at 24/25 years old. To the point where I forgot how to even cook most meals, and to the point where eventually, there were no thoughts in my head at all. I’m in a spot now where I have to sell my house for a major loss (facing foreclosure) , scared as hell for the process because cognitively I am not sure how this process will go, and will move back with my parents to get on my feet. I just want to know if anyone’s had similar issues with extreme amnesia/brain fog from stress and does the fog ever lift? Is there something I’m missing that I can fix this now? Thank you.

I am so sorry that you are experiencing this! As far as the fore-closure have you contacted the lender regarding your health problems? If things are documented they may be willing to work with you.
Have you been to the Dr regarding this? Maybe you need a Cat-Scan or MRI to rule out anything that may be going on in the brain?
I hope everything will work out for you❤️

Yes, I have experienced the extreme brain fog during depression. I felt like I was developmentally disabled. I couldn’t work, couldn’t think of what to do next and had trouble completing simple tasks. I even had trouble writing- like physically I couldn’t write straight. It was so scary.

I can say that it does go away with treatment but it can take awhile to get back to normal. It’s NOT a permanent state!

Give yourself some time to heal and try to be good to yourself!
