    Long Covid with ME has made me increasingly dumber. It sucks bad. I have difficulty finding words, following conversations, understanding long texts and just plain remembering things. It’s devastating to be more stupid but knowing that you could do better.

    Just a few minutes ago I said I couldn’t play Leisure Suit Larry 7 because it’s too hard. Sucks ass.

          As a fellow sufferer of Covid Brain Fog, it is being dumb.

          Even if it’s temporary, which so far hasn’t shaken out that way for me. I am currently the dumbest I have ever been.

          The amount of things I used to do for fun that I now have had to quit or hire out to others because I can’t do it anymore is deeply demoralizing and frustrating. It feels like a part of my identity has been stolen from me.
