Absolutely! I got to a point that people I did not know I would not engage in a conversation. I hope this helps... I was a year in April that I have been dealing with many long Covid issues. I am now feeling better, I was at ER six times, hospitalized twice. I rarely am lost for words. My husband and I used to call it " fill in the blanks" I could not find the word I was looking for in conversation, he would fill in the lost word for me. That's the only way I could get through without being nervous when I was speaking to people. Hang in there. I did not think I'd ever see the day where I'd be back on the tennis courts talking to people having fun again. I'm there! Just keep telling yourself that you will not accept this as a way of life. I told myself that over and over again. I believe thoughts become things. I kept convincing myself that I was getting better and somehow miraculously I am doing so much better almost 100% back to myself. I was a complete mess trust me. I hope everything gets better for you. I believe it will.🫂
