Fun little test about your knowledge on COVID. (useful because it points out unevidenced misconceptions or conspiracies) (seanmullen.com)

Similar voyage here, tall/big in shape, got a sort-of long COVID, taste for spicy things went away, got like a plastic film on my eyes, except it wasn't on my eyes or eyesight but on my brain (bad metaphor but IDK how to better explain it). Lasted up til this spring... Re-got COVID and when it went away, so did the "film" (or brain fog). I'm better but it was harsh times, especially for work. People are such jerks.

I'm trying to get all sporty now :-) but when I'm sick it's hard not to get weirdly anxious... (🫦 <= This icon is proposed for "anxious" 😂 wtf).

Hope you're doing better, it's worth it!

Oh yeah, COVID made my ADHD brain fog even worse. It's slightly starting to improve, but not a whole lot. Tried Concerta and Elvanse (Vyanse), neither of them help too much.

Getting all sporty may help too. Before COVID, I'd often go for walks listening to a podcast (since I can't walk or do any other cardio without something to focus on other than the grueling exercise) and afterwards I'd feel almost like a new person with motivation helping me pierce through the fog. Temporarily, at least. Lately I just am finding it harder and harder to find time for everything and I only take walks when I'm trying to get my toddler to take a nap, I should definitely be doing it more.

Having young kids is life on hard mode, good luck!
