paperhatwriter··on The negative impact of Covid on working memory revealed using rapid online quiz
I share your feelings. I’ve had covid 3 times, and have increasingly noticed changes in how my mind works, as alarming as that sounds. Slow, forgetful and sensitive to stress and tiredness, I fear sometimes that my ability to do my work will completely unravel.

Breathing exercises help, but mainly in calming me down if I start becoming distressed when dwelling on it too much. I still work full time and feel like overal my long covid symptoms are subsiding but I can’t shake this nagging feeling that I’m less intelligent than 2 years ago.
