Undeniably fucked today. The swollen muscle got to its worst yesterday, that wasn’t too bad because I am pretty good at dealing with musculoskeletal pains in the physical body. But, today, it has dispersed into my diplo bone behind my eyes and in the sockets. I’m making new immune cells programmed for covid, and right now this immune reaction is fucking with my sensitive brain.
I feel foggy, and I cannot speak, I come out with words but it is hilarious garbage. And it’s very audibly clear something is wrong with me. The cool thing is, I am completely cool with it. I have hidden these difficulties all my life. But now when I am in cognitive distress I can just come out with word salad and at least Keith knows I’m not muting for judgement, muting for silent violence, muting for warfare, muting for shutting him out, muting for hating him.
I’m expressing muteness, and just letting it be toddler pre-verbal garbage. Because when I actually manage to come out with meaning in amongst the garbage, there is RELIEF like you won’t believe. I am heard, I can speak, it’s 2 year old but I can convey meaning even when the words are abstract. I am teaching Keith how much difficulty I’m in, and he’s letting up. He’s actually acknowledging me.
my memory blackouts are continuing. Something has gone wrong this week and I will have to re-read the diary in order to figure it out. But I know it’s probably more to do with fighting cognitive dissonance burns. Burning myself on purpose. Because there comes a point where my brain is going FÜCK YOU ZZZZAP and the next thing is, I become aware that I couldn’t fight it, I am somewhere else and I can’t recall what happened.
huh if i was to tell a doctor, they’d probably tell me to take it easy or don’t do that or do some drugs! I think I need to go, but right when? I only need to know a physical baseline of where I am.
I used to get burned 20 times a day EASILY. Now, 6-8, sometimes 3. But, I’m purposely LOOKING FOR THINGS to trigger me 🤣🤣🤣 it’s kinda fun to see who can fuck up my head - because the challenge is for me to stay with it, and take the piss until I burn through it.
but right now, I am burned out. My immune system is well on its way, pumping new cells out of my spongey bone in my eye sockets, and giving me rotten discomfort in my brain.
the result is entertaining for keith. I literally can’t remember what, but there was a conversation where I needed comfort. I asked for hot chocolate, then rice, then Nabana, but couldn’t find the words so this string of comfort words came out with pointy flappy gestures searching for the word that was hidden from my sight.
I do not remember the conversation as it ended with Keith shaking his head and realizing how much trouble I’ve been in to stay quiet all our marraige. My speech fart has continued this morning, I can’t speak words so it’s still garbage. Wait. Is this like a stroke?
yeh my symptoms are weird - I’m just so used to the feeling of my own brain fucking with me and flowing when it wants. Soooo it’s a bit overloaded I think with this inoculation dose.
