The aftermath : a different state of personality

Wow! That sound’s drastic! So far I’m good with that , just get a little down gear and there because I was always very active now I pace myself! I have tools that help me navigate life so I use them in every area of this journey that’s helpful so I don’t go down into the abyss 😳 good luck and be well !

sorry you're experiencing this.5 years now...main symptom IS brain fog.It's not horrible,but it happens many times during the day(and night).Thankfully mine isn't debilitating,yet.I really don't know what can be done...here's a Dr on youtube..Dr Paul Anderson.He's very good about this covid thing.God Bless and try to not let it overwhelm you.Things are gonna change...again.For the better I think.

I totally understand sounds like you just said what happen to ME .
It been 4 years very SLOWLY but surly I'm finely getting better
Hit my heart pretty bad flutter Afib an other parts of my body
but the worse mind an memory lost most of 4 years of memory.

I'm so sorry. My personality has changed in that I've been very depressed (who wouldn't be) after loss of job I'd worked so hard for and not being who I was pre-covid nor being able to do things I used to do. Hang in there. You are not alone.

The brain fog and short term memory loss has really affected me. I had to leave my job when I could no longer remember my co-workers names. Personality wise, I sometimes blurt out the nastiest response to someone and can't believe that I said that. It's not intelligence per say, but it could be interpreted as such by others. I think it's just the 24/7 pain that I'm in talking.

Please don't take it to hard I also blurt out the nastiest to my family 3 years ago an it took years for them to forgive me I just keep telling them that it F---- Covid .

I do forget names.But I do remember usually.Othertimes,I just say Hi.I don't think anyone is really seeing a huge difference,but I feel it.At the checkstand.Starting to say something and the words don't come out like they used to.Sometimes.I've had to slow myself down and don't say anything.Just do my job.Still friendly,all that.But some struggle with it at times.Hope we all get clear of this deal.

suefish: I’m very different and don’t appreciate these feelings.

This is all true. I feel like a different person. Forgetful, agitated, and after 4 years still do not taste and limited smell. Very depressing, no one understands

@po777 You know.That's what matters most.My supervisors know I've been really sick for 4+ years and still have episodes.Caught it in 2020.This year has been dicey but improving on some things.Overall not sick like i was.But still have flareups.Kinda know what's happening for the day according to my stomach!Taking carafate has really helped calm my stomach down.Once that starts,it accelerates to other issues.But it is stoppable if I stay on the carafate.I think lol.Anyway...take care and drink lots of water.God Bless...hang in there.I no longer apologize for being unwell.They've accepted it...if not,oh well.
Dealing with being unpredictably sick,and worrying about what others think isn't productive.Though I do feel bad when and if I have to call in.Thankfully not too often these days...but for a while...it was bad.
