Long COVID: Accepting my new normal

I am angry. I am dizzy and disoriented. I have tinnitus, hyperacusis and ear pressure. My vision is so blurry and my digestion has basically shut down. I am so dizzy that I have fallen, and so rarely go out anymore. I struggle through each day, just going to doctor appointments that never help.

I am fortunate to have support from my family, but they cannot really understand. Most of my friends have given up on me because I’m no fun anymore. I can only text or email now. I can’t participate in any activities for over two years now. People move on.

My life was stolen from me and I feel such anger.

You are not alone, I too have become angry, frustrated, alienated, and lonely in the virtual world I live in. No drugs work for me, my only drug is sleep. I wake up to the loudest ringing in my ears, leaving me with such a debilitating feeling from the moment I wake up, that it takes me nearly 4 hours, just to feel like I can open my door And get my dog out for a quick walk. In all fairness, I wasn’t much fun before Covid! (Levity joke) but yes, my friends are all gone, and sadly my family does not want to deal with this at all. We can own our anger, I just don’t allow it to consume me; as it is too draining, and it only triggers a higher frequency of more intense relapses. We are all in a place where we are completely understood. That aspect of loneliness doesn’t have to be there anymore. we all understand, and we WILL get through it!!!
