Anxiety and nervousness were a big problem for me during the first year of my recovery. Have you tried anything to help relieve that? Looking back I think that the anxiety was what gave me a lot of the brain fog / unreal feeling that I had. That along with the vestibular/vision problems I was having.
Some things that helped relieve my anxiety:
-guided meditations (google UCLA and meditation for free ones)
-manual therapy by my PT
-massage
-epsom salt baths
-acupuncture
-vestibular therapy to help my vision
I was also put on an anti depressant to help with the anxiety. I think it did help some, but I would try some of the things listed above before doing meds.
