20 relatable tweets for anyone struggling with pandemic brain

I don't know about you, but my brain hasn't been feeling so hot lately.

We're more than a year into the pandemic and with each passing day I grow less convinced that the so-called complex organ rattling around in my head is still capable of controlling body parts and deciphering information. In my opinion, I have a pile of brain slush up there — a brain Icee, if you will. Maybe you feel your brain has taken on a smooth gummy-like form during this pandemic, or perhaps you think it's been removed from your skull, fried on a hot sidewalk, and flipped back into position with a spatula when you were sleeping.

The truth is, these feelings of absolute mental chaos are most likely, almost certainly the result of living through this pandemic and quarantining for over a year. We're all suffering from pandemic brain, fatigue, or burnout. Maybe you say you've hit the pandemic wall, however you describe the mood, it's a mental state of exhaustion, overstimulation, and endless anxiety.

One minute you're feeling inspired to create the next King Learin quarantine or crank out your creative equivalent of three albums like Taylor Swift. But then you remember you don't have the energy to do anything other than crash on your couch and watch Netflix. Work? Feels impossible. Creativity? Vanished into thin air! Maintaining healthy personal relationships? Can you even remember the last time you replied to a text?

If you feel like your brain is broken and quarantine is starting to get to you, you're not alone. Here are 20 extremely relatable tweets for anyone struggling to focus right now.
