Hope everyone has been doing well since the last one! If you've got something cool going on, this is the place to talk about it! Or if you need an ear, we're here for that too. :soviet-heart:

Rough past few days with me, but I'm feeling better. Gotta go take my dad to the doctor tomorrow, he's getting up there in age and it's just something I'm sensitive about. Also working through some emotional issues. Romance is dumb. Spent most of yesterday being nonverbal towards everybody, but I took the corg out for a long walk and then we chilled at a bar together while I did band stuff. She can sense something isn't right and has been extra snuggly (which is a lot).

Hope the person that's reading this is doing really really great.

      Thank you, I hope so too. I'm gonna see a doctor. I'm eating healthy, sleeping, exercising, but I still feel like I can't think or focus and my working memory is shot. And the anxiety about the brain fog feeds right back into the brain fog in a vicious cycle.

          Thank you and congrats on getting clean!

          I think one of my medications may have done this, coupled with years of social isolation, internet addiction, a sedentary lifestyle, and adhd. I wish I just knew what to expect. Do I have brain damage or not? Is this brain fog something a healthy brain can experience for a long time under the right conditions? Can I recover? The uncertainty makes it so much harder to cope with

            Can totally relate. Sometimes I think about my memory and attention span and wonder "what the fuck happened to me?" Fortunately, people who have gotten off the same substance (weird internet drugs, mirite?) have said it does get better, but unfortunately, I was taking this shit for close to a decade so it's gonna be a long time.
