#bluesky

I'm having some good days sprinkled in with severe depression and you cannot call it an episode because it's been going on for years now. And I'm not exaggerating.

There's also a bunch of stuff coming up and it's triggering my anxiety and trauma, mostly relationship-related. And neglect-related. Can we stop dismissing our partner's feelings and needs? Just.. be understanding. And be there. Like... You don't have to come up with solutions or good advice. Yeah, no, I will not go exercise, because I do not feel like it. I'm too exhausted. And I have only that many spoons to do tasks around daily life.

Now, I am in the middle of having to pack my entire life into boxes, yet again, and move. And I hate packing, I hate moving, I hate every single bit and I am struggling so much. But I'm also making progress. It's slow and painstaking and tedious, but it's still progress. Baby steps. I'm doing a great job. Despite it all.

Today was a bad brain day and I wasn't able to drive by myself. So I had my sis pick me up and we went to see our parents. 't was a good day, I felt very off and tired but everyone was patient with me. So there's that. 🥰

And my appetite is so bad atm, I don't even like to think about food. Ugh!

So.. hey guys! I'm still around, just not very active.

So today I got mail from my neuropsychologist with the results of the tests they made: I have a mild cognitive impairment. It's possibly due to my COVID infection in December 2022. And it's likely that this impairment has worsened my depression and dysthymia as well as the fatigue.

This is affecting me, of course. But it's a relief for me personally to be able to grasp the whole thing better.

Now, I'm still struggling every day plus I have to move out of my apartment into a smaller one and I will have to do it mostly on my own, too. It's exhausting... I'm currently sorting out stuff to throw away or sell. Because, of course, I'm also struggling financially and my dog need surgery, too. It all comes at once.

I think I'm on an okay-route again. At least I'm not having any pain that is bothering me and yesterday, I had a small spurt of energy that I used to cook me a meal. And today, I don't feel as utterly fatigued as usual, so that's a great change for now. I went with it and cleaned out my dishwasher and loaded it again, too. Whoop!

I have to be careful, tho, so I'm still trying to do a lot of rest and taking it very, very easy. It can be over again at any minute. I am enjoying the clarity in my brain, for sure! But I am aware of the fragile state of this.
