2025_1_25 just going about my day feeling impaled…

a figure in profile shot through with 5 arrows. one hand clutches their side, the other is pressed to their forehad. an exosym mobility device is on their left leg. theyir body is rendered in purple and blues, and the arrows, mobility aid, and hair are dark black-brown ink with green sheen. a tile floow and counter and window are visible behind them, an ordinary scene juxtaposed with the arrows piercing all the way thru the skin

It has occurred to me I wrote the date wrong, it was 2025-1-22, but I’m sure I’ll still feel impaled in two days, so alas.

      @secretsloth Oooh, I haven't yet, that's a really really good idea. I've always struggled with time blindness because of ADHD, so I'll try to do more research about how it manifests specifically in the brain injury/brain fog manifestations. @illmarks

      If anyone has been struggling with time confusion as part of their #longCovid or #postViralIllness please feel free to send descriptions!
