This is the hardest part for me. Nobody understands what it’s like. The more I try to explain, I feel like I get myself confused doing so, and I feel like some people just think I’m dumb. Or my fog does make me ramble on I and I feel I should shut my mouth

I get it, that’s why I don’t explain anymore and when people ask me how am I doing I always reply with ok or fine knowing that I am not. If the person is importantly enough to me I send them info on long covid so they will have a better or somewhat better understanding of what it’s like for me now. I always say I would rather have Covid again than go through this😢😞

Apologies if I already replied. I've had a long couple of weeks and am completely drained and fatigued.

I 100% feel the same way. Naturally, my mom is concerned about my long covid, can't really understand what it's like to loose mental capabilities and be exhausted. I've told others to go to a couple of specific web sites to learn more about it. Beyond that, there's nothing more I can report. if something is new and there's a breakthrough, I'll let her know.

Her and others know that if I say I need them to stop talking for a moment, turn down the TV, or if I need to leave some gathering, it's literally because I have no option. All the stimuli and activity shuts me down.
