So, I am nearly three weeks out of a severe mixed episode and I have noticed my cognitive function is much impaired. This episode was possibly the most traumatic and serious one I have had. It lasted months. My heart feels broken from what I went through and my nerves are still frayed. I have noticed my memory is much worse than it used to be and I am not as reactive. Journalling is a very slow process too. I just can't find the words. I am not normally like this. It is like it broke my brain. This worries me as I start university in 2 weeks.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Have episodes broken your brain before?
