I had COVID once, fairly mild but it was absolutely exhausting. Sometimes I can’t put together a simple sentence that makes sense when spoken out loud. I know it sounds dumb and I just hope that people know what I mean when I say it. It’s so embarrassing as a professional and someone with two degrees.

I haven’t lost any intelligence or ability to think about deep topics, but my cognitive speed absolutely sucks. I’ve only had COVID verified once but possibly twice, and my ability to hold full conversations at normal speed is shot.

If I can write my answers, I’m golden. Takes a tiny bit longer than it used to proofreading, but I can keep up in group chat. If you ask face to face though, the likelihood that I’ll forget the rest of my thought mid answer is high.
