I feel cognitive impairment lingering from burnout and depression even months later, like just writing this is overwhelming because I cannot picture the whole sentence in my head.

Then I should text back to someone about whose opinion I care, and it takes forever. I will think half an hour about one sentence write it many times. I forgot to use my notes app for this and then copying it over, I start to imagine what someone would think if they saw how long I'm typing this is beyond anything normal this is completely pathetic. It was the worst when I was dating and the main reason it was so super stressful, but I still get it with cute guys I'm not even dating.

I just wish I knew how to talk to FPs and similar people, but my mind goes blank and I have to dig so deep to find something to say and it feels forced and crap when I send it so it's again stressful until they reply.

Idk how to cope with this. Texting is somewhat manageable but talking in real life!? They immediately see how fucked up I am and I wish I could change but idk how. It's literally one of the main reasons I'm isolating. I don't know sometning as simple as that, there's no point in people talking to me.

Is it even possible? Anyone overcome this? Or am I actually going dumb, because that's really how it feels and I might fail my master program soon? It's the same issue as slowed thinking during depression, but I am not really experiencing depression at this moment idk what this is and if there's a cure for it.
