Going back to work today, brain fog.

I finished my treatments on Monday, and I'm going back to work today. I'm a preschool teacher, and I'm terrified. Don't get me wrong, there is no world where I don't take care of the kids or hurt them. That's just impossible, I don't think I could if I tried. But the brain fog is still really heavy, and I have some memory loss going on. I'm really really worried I'll get into a car crash on the way to work, or I'll forget something important. I've forgotten some of the kids, I know because I've seen pictures and the names are not returning to me. My mom works at the same preschool, and she kinda helped me out last night by reminding me who the kids were.

I'm asking for help because I need this brain fog to lift ASAP. How do I put my brain back in my head within the next couple of hours?

I'm realizing how many of my favorite pieces of media are about mental illness.

I have PTSD and Bipolar with Psychotic features. I recently realized all of the following is true:

  1. My favorite musical is Next to Normal, about a family dealing with the same diagnosis I have.

  2. My favorite episode of Teen Titans is Haunted, Robin hallucinates Slade. This has been my favorite episode since I was a kid, before I started hallucinating myself.

  3. My favorite season of Supernatural is 7. Controversial opinion, but holy shit I feel seen.

  4. My favorite GTAV PC is Trevor.

I don't know what it says about me that involving mental illness makes me like something so much more. I'll probably be pulling random examples out of thin air for the next few weeks. It's weird, I'm weird. I'm crazy.

What did the show get wrong about whatever you're nerdy for?

It lasted for 15 seasons, they obviously didn't get the mythology of absolutely everything right. What jumped out to you as being wrong?

I'll start:

Season 8: >!Sam still has lungs after insulting Artemis. Generally speaking, insulting any of the Hellensitic Gods doesn't go well for the mortal involved. That goes double if the mortal insults a God with a lot of relevence to their daily life. As Sam says, she's the hunter goddess. Sam should be dead.!<

Season 4:>! Uriel is an archangel.!<

Season 5: >!None of the Gods in this damn hotel are supposed to eat people, what the hell? Some of them are still actively worshipped, what are we doing?!<

Season 10: >!That's... not how the Mark of Cain works.... I get that the Bible isn't super helpful when it comes to making a TV show and they went in a new direction, but yeah.!<
