Browsing reddit because I hate myself and I come across this post on /r/GenX that describes not being able to recall words. Most of that thread is describing this as a normal part of being in your 50s. It’s kinda not! That’s not normal, it’s a bad thing.
Covid affects the brain. Pretty badly! Even mild Covid is linked to brain damage. That hasn’t stopped happening, there keeps being more research confirming it.
Anyways, wear a mask, stay safe, keep your comrades safe.
This + ADHD brain-outrunning-mouth syndrome has wrecked havoc on my ability to communicate effectively 😔
yeah I’m pretty sure I got some covid brain rot, specifically the grasping for words thing
what a stupid and hateful disease and what a stupid and hateful country that willingly spreads it
I’ve been having trouble remembering words (and everything else) my entire life, I have no idea how I’d know if it got worse at some point. I’d better stay safe, I don’t think I can afford to lose any more memory. >_<
Maybe it’s the COVID, maybe it’s all the weed I’ve smoked, maybe my bad sleep habits, my brain is cooked regardless
looking back at things I typed and realizing entire words are missing
Yep, I used to have a pretty good memory (was actually told I had eidetic memory a couple of times)
Now I’m just your average thembo
Don’t want to lose any more of my perspicacity lest I can no longer engage in sesquipedalian loquaciousness
