It isn't obvious to me that you have sustained damage from the stroke, but to you the lack of motivation is a glaring reminder.

It isn't obvious to most people I meet - but it is constantly there for me in many ways. There is no respite, other than when I make my mind blank and don't think, but that is such an unnatural state, that it is sometimes more off-putting. It is like an in between state, not on, not off.

In the first six months to a year after a stroke, some repair can happen - after that, apparently not much. The brain games can improve the ability for the game through repetition, but they don't translate into real life very well. It is like what they teach is context specific, and real life lays outside of those frames. I play word games and math games with my daughter though, because they are good for her, not me :)

I have heard Spoons is fun, but have never played. Will check it out.

Now that I think about it, it isn't about making decisions, but it is about making better decisions in the moment. I can make a decision, but it is lacking a lot of collateral needed to make it a good one. Even if I take the time, I am unable to trawl my subconscious, because it is out of reach.

Perhaps I should try mushrooms! :D
