'When the fog hits, I might as well be a different person: I get aggravated more, I get confused in conversations, I can't plan, and I get very impulsive, which means I've had to learn how to handle that — which has taken the better part of over a year at this point.

This 25-Year-Old Gen Z'er Dropped Out Of College Due To The Lasting Effects Of Long COVID — Here's How It Affects His Budget And Day-To-Day
"When the fog hits, I might as well be a different person: I get aggravated more, I get confused in conversations, I can't plan, and I get very impulsive, which means I've had to learn how to handle that — which has taken the better part of over a year at this point. I'm only 25, but I feel like I'm 85."As an older Gen Z'er, comparing myself to my peers almost feels inevitable.
My average day is honestly boring, but the"fun" part is trying to live around what feels like an entirely different part of me. When the brain fog hits, I lose the ability to focus, I have a hard time grasping concepts and ideas, and I have a hard time finding the right words to use in conversations, even if I use them routinely. I go from a"loser-nerd" to just a"dull loser," which is significantly less fun.
On the one hand, I've definitely opened up more with my friends about my mental health and inner thoughts, but on the other, I can't help but feel like I'm a broken person who was deemed expendable during the pandemic and left to rot.Society says I'm not where I'm supposed to be, but I say I'm right where I'm supposed to be. I'm alive, making efforts to improve people's lives, and I'm happy, and that's all there is to it.
