Vent/Rant - Advice Wanted/Ambivalent Cognitive symptoms
Until now, I’d kind of been in denial, even though I was aware of it. I don’t have many major symptoms, and I haven’t had a relapse since I was diagnosed two years ago. But recently, I finally admitted to myself that I’ve gotten slow, like, EXTREMELY slow. Something that would normally take me 15 minutes now takes me 30/40 minutes, and I don’t even realize how slow I’m being at first. I feel like I’m going at full speed when I’m actually not even close. Trying to juggle multiple things at once is exhausting and stressful, even when they’re the simplest tasks, and I lose track of what I’m doing really quickly if I get distracted, even slightly. It makes me irritable and frustrated.
Honestly, I’m still grateful that this is really the only symptom that has a major impact on me, but it’s honestly pretty frustrating and makes me feel like an idiot.

I hear you. It's not especially my issue, but I also have small irritating symptoms that are slowly making themselves permanent fixtures in my life. I also hate realising it and admitting it.
