There are cognitive aspects to this MI currently being researched. I call this my having "cognitive deficits" that comes with my illness. Sometimes I have trouble communicating with simple words. Now words that I did not remember even knowing quickly come to mind. I do also have focus issues. Much of it is also cyclic, but not necessarily in time with my mood cycles. Then there can be serious memory issues of past events,

OMG, i felt the same. Exactly as you said. Communication problems memory problems, concentration problems. Its like hell sometimes. I used to study Vetrinary Medicine and it was really the worst combination of problems for a career based on memorizing stuff hahaha. Then i studied something thecnical that help me to focus because its based on repetitive tasks combinated with creativity. But there are times that i really feel that i became iliterate. I feel so dumb, its like my brain lost connection with my mouth or hands (in case i have to write something). Its so good to hear im not alone in this. I mean, it doesnt make it good, but i least im starting to believe that im not the failure i though i was.
And about the memory of past events, I have 2 years of my life totally lost. From the year it all started I only remember about 10 moments. And then, after the second crisis I have about 4 months totally blank. It's very weird ..
