Anyone else feel like their mind is blank, difficulty with memory, forgetting words mid sentence, general mind fog, and tired? Why do you think this is?

Long COVID.

The most likely culprits are depression, lack of sleep, lack of certain nutrients/vitamins, or an undiagnosed disease.

You need to go to a doctor, some possible causes are serious and could fuck you up for life if left untreated.

Definitely symptoms I get with depression.

It’s like the hamster in my brain is taking a break and the whole thing shuts down.

Could be diet related. Something like lactose intolerance has a few of those as possible symptoms.

  • Are you on any medications? It could be a side effect to one of them.
  • Do you have depression?
  • Are you getting enough sleep? Do you have sleep apnea?
  • Did you have Covid or any other illnesses?
  • Do you consume cannabis?

There’s a lot of unknowns. A doctor should be able to help you narrow them down

This could unfortunately be caused by a million things but is definitely a sign something is off. If you have access to a doctor please see one but if you don't I'd recommend looking into POTS, my partner had a very similar situation and we have narrowed it down to this.

I don't understand why more people don't find this hilarious.

Because this is in Mental Health rather than Shitpost, and OP seems to be sincere?

Humor is the best medicine.

  • Take a look at the current state of the US.

  • Take a look at the "jokes" flying around 4chan etc 10 years ago.

It's akin to throwing a string of fire crackers into a veterans retirement home.

I think it's important to be able to laugh at the enemy.

cynar@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

The problem is, that provides a smoke screen for the enemy. They say it as a "joke" till the joke becomes the new normal.

Lizard people. They're taking Lemmy over.
