[recluse]

Has it ever happened to you? I went through it about two years ago. I sat down one day with a much anticipated new book, and found it didn't make sense. I figured, oh well, it's a dud and let it go at that. What followed was two weeks of pure Hell. Everyhing I tried to read seemed to be written in code. My retention was shot. Old favorites were pure gibberish. At first, I thought I had late onset dyslexia. Then I thought stroke. At the one week mark, I considered suicide. I couldn't even recall my own phone #! When it finally ended, I was a twitching wreck. Just wanted to share. I got no one out here to ask.
