Oh btw

if you& #39;re experiencing pandemic brain fog?

This is normal. I haven& #39;t seen any articles on it yet, but I& #39;ve had a lot of people the last few weeks worried about it.

It& #39;s normal. It& #39;s not you.
The jist of what& #39;s going on, and remember twitter isn& #39;t for nuance this is a JIST....
is remember the time dilation we all (most) experienced? Where a day seems like a year, and March was 74 years ago.
We& #39;ve all been in a state of hypervigilence on many levels. We& #39;re facing new threats. New threats on MANY fronts.

And for many of us, that& #39;s been going on a long while, with it ramping the fuck up to 11 this year .
How your body/brain does this is a bath of chemicals, stress hormones, blah de blah.

That& #39;s also why many of us have more aches and pains too.

So yeah this is just the natural point at which people are hitting & #39;overwhelm& #39; point, plus ...

p l u s
it& #39;s becoming a normal state. This is your life now, your body thinks.
And it& #39;s trying to adjust. And you& #39;ve been moving in a slow motion car wreck for months, years.

So as your body goes, oh okay this is never fucking ending, and certain things & #39;stablize& #39; you feel like you& #39;re in a brain fog. You may feel & #39;dull& #39; or even stupid.

This is ...normal
Given what you& #39;re going through and what we& #39;re all going through.

It& #39;s sorta the same way you might get the shakes after a big adrenaline rush.

It& #39;s not just you and I& #39;m sure we& #39;ll see articles on it soon like the other stuff. ;)
Oh.

And I& #39;m not even joking. You might forget this and have to remind yourself of it. I& #39;ve had to tell Amy this about six times so far.

Bookmark the thread if so. And again, it& #39;s not just you, and it& #39;ll pass.

It& #39;s a rough time. <3
