fine. I believe you because I am experiencing the same things.

did you eliminate depression as a possible cause? I don't know how. there is no "expert help" in my country. I believe everyone around me is faking whatever they are doing, including therapy.

another thing to note: isolation. i think my isolation level just kept increasing. i entered a hole with the lockdown and i never got out, contrary. isolation could be a cause of cognitive impairment, yes? we are social animals?

can you make any sense of what i'm saying?

p.s. also my short term memory is broken.

p.s. I am also becoming increasingly paranoid because of this apparent cognitive impairment.

Do you exercise?

I forced myself to do workout classes like it was important non negotiable work

no :-| for various reasons, invented or real: 2 big physical injuries in a sequence, depression, tv... at least 2 years of stationary life. there goes the real root of my (our) cognitive impairment, no matter how much i want to blame an external uncontrollable factor.

find a reason to walk brisky everyday, it sucks when its cold out but my dog is my reason.

The physical injuries are always challenging to work with when trying to be active. My wife deals with all kinds of tendonitis and knee and ankle setbacks.

You gotta dig real deep somehow and fight for it when you got a setback like long covid or injuries.
