[plague-parade]

i feel like we dont talk enough about how distressing and disturbing memory loss issues are. forgetting what you were talking about halfway through a sentence, putting something down and instantly forgetting where you put it. having to reread one paragraph over and over again because by the time youve moved onto the next sentence you dont remember what the one before it said. always doubting if your memories of things are real, not being able to remember important life events.

its so incredibly scary, it feels like your mind is constantly playing tricks on you and you start to doubt whats real and what isnt.

“i forgot” is treated like a lazy excuse when it’s genuinely such a big issue for so many people.

#this has been building up in me for a bit #i was talking to my mom and she brought up a concert we went to and i have zero memory of ever going #huge chunks of my life are just. gone. #every time i sew i put the needle down and spend fifteen minutes trying to find it #memory loss #memory issues #cognitive issues #cognitive decline #cognitive dysfunction

This is super specific but ever since I had covid, I misspell homophones (like two/to/too and there/their/they’re) and this NEVER used to happen to me before, spelling has always come naturally to me, and basically I was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience?

Edit: I said two/to/two instead of two/to/too. I made the mistake in the fucking post.

I’ve learned to be okay with how little I can do physically (well, mostly). I try to do this, and it hurts, I try to do that, and I’m dizzy, I try to do too much, and I’m barely keeping my eyes open and I need to lie down. So I guess I’ve learned to listen to my body.

But what I’m not so good with is how little I can do on a cognitive, and even emotional level. I’ve gotten so fucking fragile—or maybe I’ve always been that way, idk, but I feel like it’s gotten worse, like I’m able to do less and less without falling apart.

And I know it’s probably because I’m so exhausted all the time, and who isn’t fragile when tired? And also because I’m dealing with a handful of issues at any given moment—different kinds of pains, at different parts of my body, at different levels of pain/discomfort, holding my body the right way so I don’t make it worse, monitoring the different medicines and treatments I’ve taken that day and when I can take more…..I could go on and on. And so I just don’t have the fucking…the bandwidth to process much else, whether that be a problem to solve that takes a lot of focus, or an emotional issue that taxes me in another way.

So I get it. And I try really hard to be okay with it, and to give myself some grace. But also….god, do I wish I could do more. I hate that the reality of what I’m capable of doesn’t always match up to the idea of myself I have in my mind.

This "relapse" of my neuro disorder has been ongoing since October and its looking more and more likely that this is a long term thing. I think it's getting worse.

Can anyone offer advice? I cannot deal with the cognitive impairments, these symptoms are actually new and it's genuinely too much. My home care hours are maxed out. I have moments of clarity but I reliably can't understand things that used to be basic to me eg my budget, shopping for myself, problem solving, reading instructions, and I get extensive & prolonged confusion when I get mildly stressed or overstimulated. I used to play cognitively challenging games like Factorio but now anything more complex than Solitaire is difficult or even inaccessible. I can focus for only short periods before my brain just grinds to a halt. My doctor & therapist both say I know more than them at this point but I don't know how to cope. I'm going to try going back on CBD oil but I'm not sure it really helped last time.

How do you deal with this? Anyone who's gone thru this kind of thing and has advice, I'd love to hear from you

What Social Isolation Does To Your Brain – How To Undo The Damage

I’m schizophrenic and I understand I have cognitive issues. I’m just thinking of one, is when I leave the house and I can’t find the things I need like my keys my wallet, my phone in my vape. It drives me crazy. I think it may be my surroundings. I was never a very organized person being schizophrenic. Yeah I never get an office job if you have cognitive issues and you need to be very organized because I don’t know, I can put things where they belong for a short time. But then things just get disorganized.

"yeah, walkin into a room all discombobulated an frownin at shit cause i can't remember why i'm there is my new hobby, i put in some real hours, it's a daily practice, i'm consistent"

Keep Learning New Things And Slow Cognitive Impairment

Keep Learning New Things And Slow Cognitive Impairment

Keep Learning All The Time Learning has a lot of psychological and cognitive benefits. When was the last time you learned something new? This question encompasses reading books on a topic as much as it does taking a class in a traditional classroom. One thing people who stay young at heart tend to share is that they are lifetime learners. They are always learning something new. Learning keeps…

this is a cripple punk post [also focusing on all kinds of HSN disabled folks]; ableds must tag reblogs with #i’m able bodied

for the record

i generally shower exactly once a week & wash my hair the same day

sometimes i can’t change undergarments for a few days, sometimes i change them multiple times a day

i rely on several adaptive tools to shower, period

i do need to shave/trim pubic and body hair for my hygiene, and can’t keep clean otherwise

in winter, i often can’t wash my hands unless i have lotion with me or they’ll crack painfully

i change clothes once or twice a day to make up for most of this the best i can

i’m saying this because all of those things are very common issues for many disabled people (especially high-support ones), and because i feel like if i’m going to talk about destigmatizing hygiene struggles, i should at least be open about my own.

hygiene is very difficult and energy consuming. it involves a lot energy that many of us can’t access.

not being able to maintain one’s personal hygiene doesn’t make anyone selfish, disgusting, or undeserving.

if you can’t be kind and supportive and not say “ew” when you hear about one of the most common impairments moderately to severely disabled people experience, you don’t support disabled people. if you don’t support disabled people who smell bad or have dandruff or cracked hands or un-exfoliated skin, you don’t support disabled people.

yes, even if you have sensory issues. yes, even if you’re germaphobic. your disabilities are not an excuse to be ableist to others. find a way to be kind anyway.

#DO NOT TAG AS “C SLUR/TW SLUR” OR “UNHYGIENIC” #use “cw hygiene issues” or don’t reblog. consider how your phrasing impacts those who struggle with their hygiene #cw hygiene issues #hygiene #cripple punk #cpunk #crippunk #cripplepunk #cognitive decline #neurocognitive disability #neurological disability #crazy cripple pride #mad crip pride #mad pride #madpunk #neuropunk #ableism
