I Thought I Was Just Tired, Turns Out My Brain Rage Quit

Introduction: www.youtube.com/kneetiegorungo.Have you ever brushed off that sluggish, foggy-headed feeling as “just being tired”? Well, apparently, my brain took one look at my to-do list, decided life was too short for this nonsense, and rage quit like a teenager losing in Call of Duty. Yes, my brain didn’t shut down gracefully—it slammed the metaphorical laptop, threw the mouse across the room, and stormed out without saving progress.


The Warning Signs: My Brain’s Passive-Aggressive HintsIt started small. I forgot where I parked my car, even though it was in my own driveway. Then came the day I brewed a pot of coffee—without the coffee. By the time I put my phone in the fridge and my leftover pizza in my backpack, I should’ve realized this wasn’t tiredness. This was my brain quietly uninstalling itself from reality.


The Moment of Rage Quit: Ctrl+Alt+DelThe final straw came during a Zoom meeting. My boss asked a simple question: “Can you update us on the project?” I opened my mouth, but instead of words, my brain played the Windows XP shutdown sound. Silence. Blank stare. Maybe even drool. That was the precise moment my brain hit Ctrl+Alt+Del and checked itself out of the session. Somewhere in my head, a little IT guy was yelling: “System error! Rage quitting in 3...2...1…”


How Life Looks After a Brain QuitIt’s surreal. Tasks take 300% longer, and conversations feel like I’m buffering in real-time. Friends say things like, “You seem distracted.” Distracted? I’m living inside a dial-up connection. Half the time, I can hear AOL starting up: You’ve got mail!—but it’s just my stomach reminding me I forgot to eat breakfast... again.


The Attempted Fixes: Spoiler Alert, None WorkedI tried it all: kale smoothies, meditation, a motivational podcast hosted by a man who sounded like he gargled gravel. Nothing worked. My brain sat there, arms folded, demanding better working conditions: fewer emails, more naps, and maybe a beach vacation with unlimited tacos. Until negotiations are complete, I’m stuck with my brain’s “Do Not Disturb” mode permanently switched on.


Conclusion:So if you find yourself putting your laptop in the microwave or calling your cat by your Wi-Fi password, don’t ignore it. That’s not “just tired.” That’s your brain rage quitting. Treat it with snacks, naps, and maybe a bribe. Because unlike Netflix, you can’t just hit “restart episode” on your brain.

About Dr. Viveck Baluja and KneeTie Vascular Neurology

Dr. Viveck Baluja, MD, is a board-certified vascular neurologist (American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology — Vascular Neurology) practicing telemedicine across California, Michigan, and Colorado, with additional consultation services available to international families, particularly in India.

KneeTie offers three focused services: emergency stroke second opinions delivered within 24 hours, traumatic brain injury (TBI) consultations for survivors and caregivers, and same-day adult ADHD evaluations for residents of CA, MI, and CO.

Stroke Second Opinion

After a stroke, families often have minutes to make decisions. Dr. Baluja provides a second set of expert eyes from a board-certified vascular neurologist — reviewing imaging, hospital records, and current treatment — typically within 24 hours of request. Common questions include: Was tPA appropriate? Should we pursue thrombectomy? What is the recovery outlook? What rehabilitation makes sense?

TBI Consultation

Traumatic brain injury recovery is rarely linear. Dr. Baluja helps patients and families understand recovery timelines, treatment options, post-concussion syndrome, and red flags that warrant emergency evaluation. Consultations typically last 50 minutes and are scheduled within the same week.

Same-Day Adult ADHD Evaluation

A real evaluation by a board-certified neurologist — not a 7-minute screening. Dr. Baluja's ADHD evaluations include comprehensive history, sleep and lifestyle assessment, and behavioral strategy alongside any medication discussion. Available same-day for residents of California, Michigan, and Colorado.

Why a Vascular Neurologist?

Vascular neurology is a subspecialty focused on stroke, cerebrovascular disease, and brain blood flow — among the rarest neurology subspecialties in the U.S. Most online telehealth services use general practitioners or nurse practitioners. KneeTie is led by a board-certified vascular neurologist with full state licensure and HIPAA-compliant telehealth infrastructure.

Schedule a consultation: Use the booking calendar above to choose a service and reserve a time. For active stroke or post-tPA emergencies, email gorungo@kneetie.com directly with "URGENT" in the subject line.
