Dear annoyedgrunt84,

I am so very sorry this is happening to you. What you describe is something I can really identify with from my own experience. It is quite distressing. I also have a history of severe dementia in my family. It seems as though all the changes caused by the SARS-COvID-19 pandemic are increasing my distress. I had a concussion when I was around 11 years old. I wish I had some wisdom to share with you but sadly I am in the same boat as you or at least in different boats on the same sea. My mind seems clouded and slow as though it was a swimmer trying to swim in a pool of molasses. Anyway . . . I just want to say that my heart goes out to you in your distress.

Sincerely yours, Yao Wen
