Sudden Brainfog

I didn't think that I could be able to post today but thanks to some awesome sleepyheads that cheered me up in a Discord chat, I could. I created this comic today for them, as it seems that there are people who are reading, who care, and who are excited that there is a comic about IH(?)
If you recognize yourselves, thank you. <3
Now to the explanation bit where I talk too long about this strip, I am sorry I am pathological at this:
I experience something called Brain Fog, which is an actual medical term and a thing we with IH have in common with a lot of people - but let's talk about us.
I don't always notice that I am declining. My speech slurrs, my focus disappears, and then the film just cuts and...I forget everything. My head feels heavy and fuzzy and thinking is like trying to punch a vat full of slime and get through the table (if you haven't punched a slime, I recommend it, it is fun for like five minutes) and nothing works.
This is a visible symptom...only if you are around people who just moment ago heard you talking and they were actually listening.
And those people - they can help! If you notice someone falling into the Brain Fog:
-stop asking questions, we literally can't answer
-probably help us to sit somewhere further away from the commotion
-be kind and talk slowly, but not like to someone whose brain just fell out because we aren't dumb
-if it doesn't pass, maybe let us nap or something
These are the only tips I can remember right now...because my brain is fogging up.
Thank you for reading, stay awesome, and...uhh...
What was I gonna write again..?

Todays brain fog was interesting. I didn’t stop talking I devolved into random vowel babble that isn’t part of any known language. I knew what I was trying to say but the speech part of my brain decided it was break time. I got frustrated and gave up just before collapsing on the floor and sleeping.
