Bless me with your TMIs
Heroic dose of a mystery weed edible from neighbors + coffee + light drinking hours before + covid recovery period 5 years ago around new years. Might have passed out in the bathroom in a bad position and slightly asphyxiated suffering minor brain damage. Had auditory hallucinations and some minor visual ones for about three months. The worst part was I literally couldn't understand anything I read for the first month. I could read, maybe slowly, but the words together just did not make sense. Turn of phrase an euphemisms were especially bad. Speech and verbalization was also a major issue, as I knew in my head what I wanted to say but It was like playing a videogame with the controls reversed. This was deeply distressing emotionally because my friends always told me I was fast with quippy puns and stuff like that, thought I was going to be a drooling retard for the rest of my life. It was like I just lost a limb. Some other locomotive function issues but dont need to dwell on it. What made it even worse was that almost everything I do for fun is some kind of social video game, image board, or info hub like this site. It fucked with my life hard - the way I see my self, my confidence, plans in general.
It wasn't till about two years later where I started to feel even a little bit like my old self and it's only improved since. I've always been strange so I cant directly lay my behavior on this, but yeah, no more fun outside an occasional liquor shot with friends or some IPAs.
