I’ve been struck down by some mystery illness. My head hurts but mostly I’m just fatigued and my mental faculties aren’t where they should be. I teach languages yet I can’t remember words for basic things right now! So I’m taking a few days off to recover. Hopefully will be back in by the end of the week.
In other news, I’ll be five months off alcohol this week. Social situations have become easier, I’m getting used to being a little bit goofy at parties and my friends have been super supportive! One even looked shocked when I held my partner’s beer at a festival a few weeks ago and made a joke saying they couldn’t remember the last time they saw me with a beer! It sounds small but it meant the world 😊
As I’m confined to my couch for the next little while I’m probably going to be a bit more active on beehaw! Hope you’re all having a nice week!

2 years ago I would have said that sounds a lot like long COVID. I’m assuming you’re vaxxed and everything so that’s probably unlikely. Fingers crossed you feel better! Make some posts in your favorite communities here. We need the content 😉
You’re right I’m all vaxxed up! It’s a real head scratcher. I don’t have any physical symptoms other than being tired and having a sore head but the mental symptoms are awful! And of course having no physical symptoms (no cold symptoms) makes me feel like I’m faking it ughhh.
I’m a huge believer of listening to my body when it’s in distress so I’m HOPING all this couch time will speed up my recovery.

I am not a medical professional but it sounds like you could have a bad migraine, or an iron or vitamin deficiency.
Congrats on 5 months sober!!! Quitting drinking was the best decision I ever made.
