I have brain fog due to perimenopause. I used to be so smart - I have degrees in physics and statistics - and now I have to use a calculator for basic arithmetic. I'll start a sentence and my train of thought will just evaporate. And when I try to concentrate on anything even a little bit complex, I lose track of my thoughts, it's like there's TV static where my thoughts belong.
And yeah, then the self-recriminations begin, plus a deep frustration that feels desperate and almost like rage and grief mixed together. And partly I think that's an overreaction, but then again, I'm not sure it is.
It's horribly depressing to go from smart to dumb. And I know my situation isn't nearly as bad as yours, but please know you have my sympathy. It really sucks and I hope it gets better for you soon. 🤍
Short to medium length, I guess. I'm rough on my nails so I have a hard time growing them very long without breaking them. But they do grow quickly (thanks to biotin!) so they don't stay short for very long.
I've found more belligerent comments have started to crop up, and sure enough, most of the time the account is about 2 weeks old. I really hope lemmy doesn't change with this latest influx from reddit.
I thought this was about the birds :(
