Stored in the same part of the brain as the ability to smell. It's how I lost my ability to listen to podcasts.

I always had trouble with responding to emails. The pandemic took away what I later learned were all my ADHD coping mechanisms and I fell apart. I later learned about "executive dysfunction" and "the wall of awful"

The pressure was off to keep up appearances during that time, because everyone was falling apart. I was able to unmask (figuratively), probably for the first time in my life; getting it back on has been almost impossible.

So, the spike protein barbs grab on to your brain wrinkles, creating neurowiring misfires, and that overheats the gray matter, turning it into silly putty. I have that on good authority. I think the study is in my email somewhere.

We do probably all have brain damage by now, cognitive abilities and IQ scores have dropped for everyone with multiple Covid infections. More and more studies show this cognitive decline.

My ability to track time is still shot. I think I went from subclinical ADHD to full fledged ADHD and can’t seem to go the other way.

Is it the pando or is it because it's the end of the world as we know it, and contrary to what REM claimed, we don't feel fine?

Can I blame it for that as well? I mean, I was never good at it, but having something to blame would be pretty keen.
