@athenaatkins I feel sorry for you, I sincerely appreciate that you are facing a difficult time and I must say I empathized and also saw myself through your comment. It's very stressful figuring things out and not having someone who really knows what to do to be a FUNCTIONAL PERSON. It's overwhelming and can also trigger anxiety and depression, so I want to express my feelings and share them with you so that you feel at least a little better: obviously we're not happy to know that there are many others suffering like us, but at least to Me loneliness and despair are the most common symptoms that we - long haulers - share. Everyone has their own unique pattern, but no matter what you're facing as your worst difficulty - for me it's terrible joint pain and fatigue - we all seem to share this feeling of detachment or that we are no longer able to adapt. I hope we all get through this together as soon as possible. I'm rooting for your recovery

Thank you, Thais! You really hit the nail on the head. I am definitely feeling lonely and full of despair. I am truly grateful for this group, because otherwise I would have no one to talk to about my experiences. I do not know anyone else who is dealing with Long Covid, and it is very isolating. I appreciate you and everyone else here!
