    yeah me neither. the way I’ve described it is that 99% of my RAM capacity is gone, but my CPU is generally nearly as good as before I was sick.
    (I don’t have the energy to translate this to non-technical terms rn sorry)

    That’s what we’re here for :)

    Explain like I’m brain-foggy:
    The baseline ability of the brain to carry out cognitive tasks is unchanged (CPU), but there’s way less “storage” to be able to keep track of all the necessary bits of information at once (RAM)
