For me COVID somehow coincided with the most depressive period in my life. The brain fog and tiredness was something that I had never experienced before.
My context window was so narrow felt like I was operating at 2 percent capacity. It’s normal for depression to cause fatigue but literally cleaning my apartment once a month would drain me for week and a half. I love to journal I’d sit down and somehow words weren’t flowing. The entire system was haywire.
I ate well, started even going to the gym but only at the end of summer 2023 did my energy slowly come back. I was also mistakenly attributing this to getting older.
My mind is now alpha zero and depression is gone. Crazy times pandemic plus depression plus bad SWE market. It was basically hell and I thought Id never recover. Health is the most important thing in this life.
