Long COVID: Accepting my new normal

Yes, the reality is I was the one in my group of friends that always wanted to do more, always go further, always stay longer, rallying up the troops etc. Now I’m the one who never does, and haven’t seen them for quite some time. As far as Getting through it, Hope and understanding is all I have left. So I must believe in that, especially with a group of people here, who may be a valuable asset to our recovering. So in short, yes I believe in one form or another we will get through this.

Thanks Max,
Yes, I was the “spark” in my group too. I can’t provide that anymore. I’m barely making it through the day. But because my symptoms are largely sensory, other than weight loss, I don’t look sick to others.
I think they believe I’m just being dramatic! Nothing could be further from the truth. It takes so much energy to appear to be normal in noisy restaurants and out around people, that it just isn’t possible for me.
My husband stands by me and my children try to understand. I’m know I am more fortunate than many.
