Hello,

Long story short i am finally finished healing from the worst heartbreak of my life, i can genuinely say its been one full month of having healed however i still struggle with finding small joys in every day things i used to once enjoy (ie-exercise, comfort foods, etc) as well as memory loss. my memory before all this was so sharp, someone could tell me something from 6 months ago once and not only would i remember it but i would remember the date and time and location/context of where it was said. But now i have severe brain fog. I researched into this a bit in terms of neuroscience & apparently the brain numbs out the hippocampus after a period of severe stress/high cortisol and u basically enter a state of brain fog. It does say it’s reversible and not long term damage but it’s still very worrisome for me. Has anyone else experienced this, and do u have any advice or tips for me?

Much appreciated,

Thanks!

The most humbling moment of adulthood as a 26 year old is realizing how little value a single day has. 24 hours as a kid felt like a whole adventure. as an adult, it’s a mere glimpse. A passing moment. You can start your day at 5am, 6am but Before you know it, it’ll be night again. and then u wake up the next day and do it all over again 💔
