No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

This is happening to me, or something very similar!
Tired beyond belief. Sleep doesn't matter, or at least doesn't seem to help. Everyday, it takes hours to feel awake, and only lasts for a couple hours at best.
Slow to find words when speaking, though I know what I want to say. It coupd take seconds to think of a simple word. I've started speaking in very broken, sometimes reversed, sentences. Someone said it was like listening to a slow version of Yoda, but worse.
The world feels off, as if experiencing everything through a memory rather than actually being there. The best way I've been able to describe it is, it's as if being far back in my head. Everything is at a distance, like my eyes are binoculars turned around, or like looking through tunnels.
I used to have a great memory, now I'm lucky if I remember a conversation from a week ago. Not just what was said, but I might be only vaugly aware that the conversation even happened.
Movement isn't sluggish exactly, though slower than I used to be. Doing anything, even routine tasks takes a ridiculous amount of concentration.
I've also developed weird ticks. I'll sometimes speak outloud as I'm thinking of a sentence, or lyric, or whatever, but its just one or two words. I then repeat the word over and over without realizing it. Once I notice, it takes me a second to stop. I've also started geaturing with my hands without meaning to, when not even talking or anything. Like I'll randomly point or gesture like I'm speaking.
None of it was sudden, it's been a slow build up to the point that I don't know when any of it started. The symptoms are finally enough to overcome my anxiety of talking about it, and I've scheduled an appointment with my doctor. Whatever is happening, I figure it will be better to know than not.
I'm not saying we have exactly the same thing, it just sounds like we have some similar symptoms. Whatever it is, know that you aren't alone. Take care of yourself random internet stranger, and please call a doctor.
