Dealing with Post Covid making depression worse, anyone else?

I have tried to use the things I learned from my DBT classes but have had very little luck. It's extremely hard to focus on anything when in the kind of physical pain I am experiencing. It's extremely exhausting, just adding to both my mental health and sleep issues. I feel like my brain is finding it difficult to understand what my body is going through. I have so many different types of pain, things I've never had to go through before. I'm at my wits end. I feel like my mental health doctors are the only ones concerned. I feel the rest of my doctor's have hung my out to dry. I'm tired of getting up every time crying having breathing problems.

So sorry for your pain and challenges. I feel like I`ve turned into someone else now... some changes for the good and others not. I feel others pain more now but depression is so much worse some days. Having someone to talk with is essential. Do you have a therapist? You can usually set up appts by device face to face or by phone. Keep reaching out and don`t withdraw every day. Feeling alone seems part of our condition. I`m lucky I guess cause my two youngest children are still home and need me. Hard some days but also a blessing. Since my long hspitalization, they act afraid to be away from me at all. Please hang in there. I had to set small goals and celebrate them. The day I could stand by myself and retire the walker were good days. Mental health and pain are invisible and therefore less understood by many but not all
. Hugs to you.

It’s good to hear your mental health doctors are concerned. That’s important.
