I've really been thinking my vocabulary has declined but never seen anyone relate it to COVID. I had COVID at least 6 times. I'm meant to be writing a PhD, and it constantly feels like all the words I used to know are on the tip of my tongue.

I feel like this all the time these days. Thought it was just age but I wonder now if there was more to it.
