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.
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
This + ADHD brain-outrunning-mouth syndrome has wrecked havoc on my ability to communicate effectively 😔
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. >_<
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
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
