so executive dysfunction is when you cant do something because you cant make a decision or choose how you are going to do it i.e. you dont eat because you dont know what you want, you dont do a chore because you don’t know where to start, you don’t start a paper because you can’t pick a topic to write about, etc.

brain fog is what you guys get more often and it’s when you are trying to get something done but you just cant. it’s when you all the sudden just can’t focus, not because you’re distracted by something, but because you can’t seem to gather your thoughts enough to get started. like instead of thoughts, you just get white noise. these are different things. executive dysfunction usually comes along with anxiety but brain fog can come from things like depression, or be a sign of adhd or something as simple as literally just not getting enough vitamins or being dehydrated.
