Can you describe what brain fog feels like?

I've got CFS which was triggered by glandular fever back in February, the worst part of it for me is the brain fog. It's as though I've been completely stripped of my personality/identity.

My friends ask me to describe it, but in order to do so in a way that they could comprehend I'd probably need to write a 3 page essay. The feeling is so weird and abstract that I reckon only people who have experienced it will understand. 

How would you describe it in just one sentence?
