← Return to Study: Depression & Anxiety in Long COVID

I was already in therapy before I got this. It is extremely depressing and I do get anxiety, usually from the thoughts of this never going away. I try really hard to stay in the present moment. This virus causes not only physical issue, but is isolating and sometimes I have feelings of hopelessness when I wake up because I feel so bad. I believe there is a need for support groups, in person or via Zoom. Talking to others that understand is so important.

With you on this, @diverdown1 - it's too when reading the latest reports of which I am aware and the doctors, esp. those w/ "Long COVID clinics" w/ whom I am working are not and the dismissal of my "never had them til I got COVID" symptoms! I know my body.

Here's to us and here's to Mayo at least to have an outlet to discuss and share resources.
