I would like to thank everyone for your contributions. It's hard for you to know what to say because the knowledge+information that you have on me and my circumstances is limited. There's a lot of stuff that I probably wouldn't be comfortable sharing in threads on this forum, and this restricts the abilities that you have with trying to support me.

I appreciate the desires that you have to try and support me, but I don't want to put too much weight on your shoulders; you don't have any responsibility for me and probably have lots of problems of your own. I think that the main people who can make significant changes in my life would be myself and the people who are closest to me and know me personally.

I think this is totally normal. My husband is always jokingly suggesting he's getting dementia when he can't remember something, and it's always the name of someone we knew 20 years ago in another state we sort of interacted with.
Yeah! I'm trying not to freak out about it too much.

When I hit a severe depressive episode a few years back, I swear it degraded my memory recall to a notable extent.

I've just been noticing that my mind is really foggy as of late. Maybe this is an indicator that I should change things up in my day to day? Which I am trying to do, despite the frustration of brainfog.

Part of what I pride myself on also is my vocab. I adore reading.

And to bunnyhop off of the other discussion taking place here, people who have never experienced mental ill health, or seen a loved one (family & friends) go through it, are honestly so lucky and blessed in that regard.

I've learned frame of mind, perspective, is paramount to overcoming hurdles, and a lot of people take it for granted. The mind is an incredibly powerful thing, very elastic, and very easily damaged. I've become much more open-minded and appreciative of spirituality and philosophy as I recover from trauma in my life.

Are you taking any meds? Because some can cause that. Did you have COVID? Because that's a side effect. I would search on The People's Pharmacy for brain fog and see if anything could apply.

I do take medications to help manage my depression and anxiety.

I also did have COVID around this time last year, and noticed my sense of taste and smell completely disappeared during.

We live in a day and age where the solutions to problems seems to be to moan about on Twitter; isn't that how everybody deals with problems these days?

If we keep a single word on our brain we die that's why we make a bunch of alt accounts on Twitter and reddit and write the most stupid ****
