On Saturday I managed to leave my house and hang out with some friends while they played board games. They set me up a bed next to the table so I could sleep when I felt like it and listen to them when I was awake. I love that they did this for me to feel included. I managed to sit up and play 2 games. 1 Round of Yahtzee and 1 round of Quirkle. Both games I was the undefeated champion of when I was still only mild. I lost both games so badly, my score was half of that of the person who came second last. I don't really care that I lost the games, because it's the playing that is the fun part. But it really showed me just how mentally slow I am now. I can see it in all areas of my life but the score was something very definitive. Flowers for Algernon killed me when I first read it and I just can't believe this is my life. Anyone else experiencing any similar?
