    Damn OP is lucky, I get the opposite where every once in a while it feels like my brain suddenly downshifted and added a new layer of fog that never goes away, instead I just acclimate to the new feeling of reduced capacity.

    The brain continues developing until around 25, especially the prefrontal cortex. "The development of the prefrontal cortex of the frontal lobe allows us to process the pros and cons of a decision before it is made. “It lets us to do things most animals cannot,” explains Dr. Stanislaus. “Decision making, logical thinking, reasoning — all of those things happen because of the frontal lobe.”

    Perhaps Anon also became able to afford/figured out how to sleep, eat, drink alcohol, etc responsibly and small successes built on themselves to better general health.

      I noticed the same thing around 25, like all of a sudden I was capable of making better decisions on things that make my life better. It coincided with the average age of maturity for the pre-frontal cortex. Felt like a switch was flipped.

        Wish this was me. I’ve been making the same dumb decisions since I was 20 and now I’m in my late 30s

      I felt the same effect about age 28. It was like I woke up out of a fog. So many things made sense. I also started getting a lot better sleep and exercise by then too.

    I turn 29 next month and sometimes I still feel like I have no fucking clue what I’m doing

    Like, I’ll be sitting in my bed trying to sleep and feel utterly confused about how I managed to fool everyone into thinking I should have my own bedroom in an apartment

    I would like to awaken plase

    My brain fog lifted; people don’t like it when they know you know when they’re gaslighting you. Now I just wish my devices’ (all of them) ai autocorrect brain fog would go away.
