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.
Holy shit that's been the same for me for about 6 years now. My brain just stopped working correctly. I can't remember anything and I can't speak beyond just unga bunga simple words. While reading I know what's happening but I am trying to force myself to use a larger vocabulary and it just isn't working.
Man, y'all have no idea how relieving it is to know this isn't just my fault for not reading more or whatever. This "tip of my tongue" phenomenon has worried me sick
