I’m sorry Tim. I know exactly how you feel sadly. I would also trade my brain issues for the sexual sides.
It IS a form of cognitive impairment and not a depression. It’s sad, that the cognitive impairment bits were not discussed at all, in the news story. I think if people can describe brain fog more understandably, and less pathetically, then this horrific condition would become much more understandable to the general public. I’m starting to believe the term ‘brain fog’ is much too light, and pathetically passive of a description of our condition. When uttered or heard, it’s quite too easy for people to brush it aside, as a mere ‘awe shucks, my life sucks depression’. Fuck all. It’s not at all a depression.
This is NOT a fucking depression people! Get this shit straight and proper. The people lucky enough not to have mental sides are very fortunate in my opinion. This condition is much more terrifying than simply being ‘bummed out’ mother fuckers! What the fuck?! Are you kidding me?! Simply put, every single day you have the daily torture of knowing your brain, is fucked up and something is wrong! You truly feel as if you have a form of brain damage. It’s not a mere matter of mood or feelings!
