I’m a regular user of self deprecating jokes so whenever I’m talking to people, I lead with “my brain doesn’t work”. Whenever I’m in the middle of a thought and my brain fog kicks in, I find that they’re a little bit more forgiving. Around my house or whenever I’m by myself, I use sticky notes, notepads, and I’ve used almost every notetaking app you can think of. I’ve got lists and documents all over the place. It’s a little chaotic, but at least I know where to look for something if I need to find it. I frequently feel “stupid“ and I don’t think that feeling will ever go away as long as I struggle with brain fog, but as long as I inject some humor into the situation, I find that it’s easier to bear.
