Having long COVID, how is your mental health?

Thank you everyone for this needed and healing discussion. I have had LC for 3+ years. Here are some things that have helped me mentally
- finding supportive doctors. It took a long time, changed my PCP three times, and found a LC clinic.
- finding some meaningful activities/hobbies that I can still do and put time and energy there.
- trying to build a supportive network of friends
- meditating every day
None of these are solutions or easy or for everyone - it is still hard - but they help. Wishing all of you the best.

Such great suggestions! I think I may have to change my Primary doctor, he’s not unsupportive but not fully on board that my symptoms are Covid related. He’s more of trying to rule out what it’s not, if that makes sense.
Very sorry you are burdened with this illness too.
I’m going to try a couple of your suggestions, especially meditation, I tried but like therapy my focus was just trying to heal the physical, just think I wasn’t motivated enough to do it consistently. I just wanted the pain and symptoms to stop.
But now I need to help my mental health, to navigate through this “new normal”.
Thank You again.
Sending healing light and energy to you! 🫶🏼
