Comment on My brain fog makes me feel so stupid that I'm seriously considering trying speed

Martering yourself because of it will make it worse, so the first step would be to accept it. Then you can slowly build up your confidence, build new connections and the fog might slowly go away.
Believe me when I say that there’s a lot of people out there with a similar fog since covid hit them. They wont talk about it unless they arent afraid of your judgement. I think talking about it helps, and people will open themselves.
Sport helps, water helps, omega-3 helps.

Not sport. Exercise makes CFS worse.

Yeah, my bad.
If I talk about sport, I meant to just move around a lot instead of sitting on the couch.
My sport is doing short hikes and going by bike everywhere.
Sometimes I forget that people cant read my mind and should be more careful.
I shouldve suggested sleep though, as I think a healthy sleep does a lot for the brain, which does make me think that amphetamines are not the best idea, especially considering your body acts like doing sports.
Thanks for calling me out.

The thing is, with CFS/ME even moving from one part of the house to the other is exercise. Watching an enticing movie is exercise. Having too many emotions is exercise. Once you have this condition you really learn how strenuous living is.
