Anyone else feel like everything was easier before the pandemic?

I had just graduated college and had a great routine, worked out regularly, had an active social life, and functioned better overall. I had a beautiful routine. I was always out and about and on the move.

I've never had that momentum back. I got diagnosed in 2022. Now I feel like I move more slowly, think more slowly, yet time flashes by everyday.

I don't think it's just me. I genuinely feel like society never recovered in so many ways yet each of us is meant to take these side effects as is they're personal failures, rather than mass societal issues.

Interested in other's opinions.
