The "yips"

Posted by marcslifer @marcslifer, Dec 30, 2022

I had an acute infection in June, and have had long covid symptoms since then. I've had brain fog, hand tremors, and unfocused anxiety for a while. More recently, I've been experiencing (what I call) the "yips". My nervous system seems to build up "pressure" which I can only release by saying "no" or "f***k me" every few minutes. I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing these symptoms.

Hello @marcslifer. I wonder if you've tried walking for 10-30 minutes a day to see if you can relieve the build up in your body?

Thanks for the suggestion. The problem is that I'm 73 and long covid has really kicked my butt in terms of stamina. Just walking the 4 blocks to and from my pharmacy leaves me winded and exhausted. I'm starting to think that what I experience is related to what others have described as "internal vibrations", and my "verbalizations" are my personal reaction to those "vibrations", rather than actually relieving any "pressure".
