Open original source ↗“-Anhedonia ... -Blank mind”
- Cause
- Writer links onset (end of 2020) to a probable COVID infection plus benzo, opiate and alcohol use around the same time; unsure which; asks about ME/CFS.
- Duration
- About 5 years (since end of 2020).
- Recovery notes
- Slowly improved to about 75-80% over ~3 years ('mind wasn't blank all the time'), then relapsed worse after a night of drinking and has declined further over ~1.5 years. MRI/CT/EEG/bloods unremarkable apart from small white matter spots. No later update checked. Not medical advice.
