Does Anyone Get Concentration Problems? How Do You Handle It?
Once in a while I get concentration problems, & it gives me a hard time. I take my medicine as prescribed, but I still get concentration problems sometimes. I told my doctor about it, but he doesn't know how to fix it. If anyone else gets the same feelings, how do you handle it? I could use a lot of help
I download a lot of puzzle games on my phone (Candy Crush, Scrabble, timed word games, memory games). Exercise helps me too.
I do from time to time. I just have to say to myself, alright now stop that. I have more problems when a lot of people are talking at the same time and asking me questions, ect. I can't get out of my mouth, just hold up and let me get my thoughts together. I feel like people are looking at me like something is wrong with me or like I am on drugs/or drunk. I'm sure it shows on my face. I turn blotchy red all over my chest and neck and it slowly crawls up my face. So not only do I feel like people think I am acting strangely, when I know I am doing that I really know they are thinking "what is wrong with this girl?"
I always do word search puzzles, Sudoku,, any kind of puzzles that is mind challenging. Concentration is always going to be a problem with epilepsy and being on meds.
I also go through that once in a while. I haven't told my neurologist, but on my own experience, I just stop doing what I was trying to concentrate on, do something else, and then come back to it. So far that's what has helped me. Not very technical, but I hope it helps you as well.
I'm starting to use mindfulness meditation. There's a growing body of research showing how it can actually change our brain structure and help us respond better to stress and focus.
