>>1243986>Whenever I read stuff, due to a mental episode, I get so worried about not understanding what im reading.>I just never have had a clear mind. My mind is always in attack mode or fear mode.Your mind is constantly stuck in a state of fight-or-flight response because of chronic stress.
The cause is low vagal tone due to the fight-or-flight response, resulting in brain fog.
I bet you often have to pull all-nighters to start and finish assignments, or cram for exams,
because you just can't focus on school otherwise.
Try taking this test:
https://vagus.net/vagal-tone/I wouldn't be surprised if you respond "Usually" or "Always" to many of these questions.
Healing from this is hard, but not impossible.
To do so, I suggest you look into the Wim Hof Method.
It's basically a breathing exercise coupled with exposure to cold.

Every time you take a shower, finish it by turning the water temperature to cold.
Stay under the stream for as long as you can.
The water needs to be cold enough to make you gasp, breath faster and get goosebumps all over.
This will raise back your vagal tone and allow your mind to finally relax and gain back focus.

pick up a copy of "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" by Betty Edwards.
