Post-COVID: I feel like I’m slowly dying and nobody is helping

@h2998sc I disagree. Having the strength to ask others for help is good, looking for help from people and online is risky and can be very discouraging, but is important for healing. I've been working through my and my husband's friends putting together a support network for me; even if you find one empathetic person it helps, a hug helps, people that understand helps. I have cancer and most of my friends are not interested. My sister just said "you used to be so healthy" and then started blathering about her 50 yo son's knee. A woman I helped when she had ovarian cancer just blurted "you didn't help me when I had cancer", a couple thought the name of my cancer was funny, some other friends and family are ghosting me. That a few are there for me cancels out the duds. Other friends I use for doing normal stuff like walks and meals out, because we all need escapes. Sometimes online support groups help as well.

@kayabbott - thank you for pointing this out. It's very kind of you.
I think most people with post-long haul covid are looking for answers. They're not here to complain. And honestly, if it makes them feel better to initially tell their side of the story, well absoultely!
Many also can't wrap their head around long-haul because it not only can be debilating as I've learned, but there are still no answers and that's the most disturbing part of it all.
