Covid Stories: Calvin

It’s been seven days since my covid +. I spent all last week very sick and down for the count. Most of the fluish symptoms have subsided but the brain fog and fatigue continue and are worse than my normal “flared” self. It feels very suffocating and I am slightly terrified that I won’t feel like my usual disabled self anytime soon.

I am trying to not have anxiety about all the things like work and classes that are affected when my brain won’t allow me to be great. The social implications of being sick are what gives me the most anxiety and even though I am not new to this, it is still very terrifying. I am used to fibro fog but post covid + fog feels very different.

Just wanted to document all the thoughts I am having. I tried to write an essay but I just don’t have the mental bandwidth.
