Do you ever have days when you can't focus on anything?

Those days would be during my period. I sometimes have backaches and migraine when the red flag is up..I couldn't even speak much less think when my head aches.. So, when I know that it's coming up in a few days, i write many discussions and save them when i wanna post.. it's really hard when you can't focus. My mind tends to wander because of the pain and sometimes, I sleep it off..It's like I can't think of something else but my pain. Anything I do just don't materialize...

There are times when my mind goes blank and there is nothing there. When I try to focus on something it starts to wonder all over the place. Then I have to stop what I'm doing and try and get focus. Sometimes it works then there are times it doesn't work. I think when I try to multi task I run into that problem sometimes. That happens sometimes when I'm here in my lots with the tabs that I have open. I always have to look carefully at what is going on or I will type the wrong thing in the wrong discussion. Have a good one.

i do have days like that. like i wanna do a lot of things but just don't have the desire to finish anything. maybe it's because of stressed. anne

This is how my normal day is. I am tired all the time and have a difficult time concentrating. We watch a movie and afterwards I have to ask my wife what happened because I almost always fall to sleep during it. I will say something and not even know that I have all ready said it. No it is not dementia. It is just a cloudy fuzzled mind at work (or not at work).

I am feeling a bit like this today, I did not get much sleep last night with the weather being warm and not being used to it! So today my head feels all muzzy and I feel out of sorts. I also know that I need to eat but the thought of eating anything is making me feel sick! I am not going to win today I think!

good that you had a nice day..yesterday shockingly was a bad day for me Bombay is raining heavily and due to some blocked drains i got up in the morning to find my house flooded with water so whole day i spent clearing the water and it kept filling again..then my keyboard was not working (partially)some words and crucial ones like"A" "E" and some other were not coming so i did little by the virtual key board but it was very painful.... so i went today in heavy rains to buy a new keyboard..basically i did not work at all..i cannot focus on bad days at all..

When I am depressed, upset, or distracted, I find it close to impossible to focus on anything. I will try to read and will continue to need to read the same thing over and over without comprehending or even remembering what I have read. No wonder so many people eat and sleep so much when they are depressed, how much more can one accomplish. I can hardly walk without falling when my mind is cluttered.

I have difficulty focussing on tasks at hand when I am not getting enough sleep. I struggle a bit with insomnia so I finally have found a safe sleeping pill to help me out with this. But when I find myself groggy and needing to focus on a task, I find that taking several slow, deep breathes helps me out for a time. If necesisary, I revert to caffeine.

I have so many such days in my life till today when I am not able to focus on anything. Specially when I an confused or when I am not comfirtable with my surrounding, when I have heard a bad news, when I am not feeling secure socially or in my profession and many more reasons. All these reasons shift my focus and I am not able to concentrate on my work.Normally in such situaltion I try to get a break for atleast 15 minutes to a perfect sleep of many hours, which ever is easily available. I avoid talking to anybody, almost anybody even my kids, though i try to be good responsive if any kids approach me and it gets nornal after rest.

YEP! I call them the days when anything cn't even focus on me and I just don't have the strength and energy to do anything, so I just rest and relax...when I feel the energy beaitng again, I will catch up...not going to kill myself over little things or sweat the small stuff...I am no robot and need some me time every now and again

When I'm exhausted like that, I feel that my temper as well as my focus fails. I get far grumpier than normal, and really the best thing for me to do is to shut myself away and perhaps read or surf. It's human interaction that I find the hardest when I get like that, which is terribly unfair on my family.

Sometimes, I also experienced it especially when I am sleepy.. My mind/brain was empty and I can't think because I really want to sleep.. But since I need to finished my job I keep my self awake.. I will go to the rest room and wash my face so that my eyes won't feel sleepy anymore.. Sometimes it works but sometimes don't.. Well, even my mind was really empty I need to think really hard so that I can finished my job earlier.. No matter how sleepy I am...

I try to make things easy and avoid stress but sometimes i can't help it.I find myself doing something that i was not in my mind and can't get things in focus.

yeh.. i have those days aswell, where i just cant do anything......oh well wat can you do

There are instances that I feel all confused, tired... I've found getting a short nap to be a good way to get back into focus. An energy drink or something a little spicy has also helped. At the office ists a little difficult to do that, so a little walk and some deep breathing does the trick.

yes there are days that i can't focus on anything. currently for many days i am facing the similar way. My dad is ill with some mucous secretion in his throat. doctors are doing so many tests. each day I am getting scared with outcome of these tests.its really trying time for me. why so? pls pray for my dad that results are negative in any test and there is nothing serious.

That feeling is with me on most days lol,very often its hard to focus ,and if yu have a lot on your plate ,well lol it all goes a bit haywire,but we are all the same im sure.This morning has been a busy time for me here,ive walked the dog,and cut the grass and done jobs in the house,seen to the washing and shortly im going to have to go and do some more work over at Mums house.But I do find the busier that you keep yourself the better it is,if the mind is occupied it is far better altogether.

I have these days often.lol I'm not sure if it's due to all the things I have to do and keep up with or it's just me. i have a hard time focusing on just myself, I worry about everyone else, my kids, my mom and dad, our pets, my friends, my kids school stuff, girls scout functions and well needless to say not enough time to think of myself. and i have to sometimes just have a day for myself, get some coffee and sit back and just sit down, and make a list of what i need to do for myself. I try this on the weekends, sometimes late at night, when kids are sleeping, or maybe during the day when they are in school. I even just go out and sit with my coffee or soda and sit on the stairs to take some quiet minutes for myself. it does help. taking a drive works as well. just listen to music, or go take a walk at the park with a friend and catch up. hope this helps.

Hi,i believe everybody can feel tired and exhausted sometime. It's usually a sign that you need some rest if you feel jumpy and restless. I usually pick up one thing trying to focus and as i finish doing it, i feel better because i've done something. I then proceed to another...Another thing i do when i feel fuzzy is to clean my room and sort things out. I feel refreshed and happy seeing everything back to order and clean.

hey,beautyqueen,i think you need a good rest because you are so exhausted. i sometimes cannot focus on studying on campus,at first i'll force myself to devote myself to study,sometimes it works.When this doesn't function,i will take a short walk alone,comb my thoughts, think about those troubled things and finally came up with methods to solve those things.also you can talk to your friends including here mylotters to listen to your troubles,maybe it is helpful.
