I hadn’t taken my meds yet, and it was generally a foggy brain morning. I was already trying to decide what to do with the day when my husband asked.

Ladies, I seriously damn near cried cause I didn’t know what to say and my brain went “MEEP!”

Thankfully, my husband recognizes these moments and reassured me I had all the time in the world to decide and gave me options, which was helpful.

    One time I was tryna figure how to respond to something my boyfriend said and my brain would not give me anything, but I knew I had to respond so I said “Cheep cheep!” Of course I know that was the wrong thing, so I said, “Oh, I mean…” hoping that my brain would send me something but all it gave me was “Cheep cheep.” Again, and then when I tried a third time again I had nothing but “Cheep Cheep” and I was starting to panic so I was getting anywhere and had to take a seat.

    So all he got in response was “Cheep cheep, oh I mean Cheep cheep, no I mean Cheep cheep.” And then he was just laughing as I sat down. I don’t blame him, it was a funny response he wasn’t expecting.

      OK, I can’t help but laugh at the “Cheep, Cheep” on the surface, but underneath I completely understand that frozen feeling when brain does not go brrrrrrrt like it’s supposed to. Love how our brains can be brilliant and lightning fast sometimes and then totally shut down other times.

      Edit; By “love” I’m being sarcastic… in case that wasn’t clear
