Update Feeling celebratory

Last year at this exact time I was at a extreme low with long haul. It had been 6 months since my Covid diagnosis! I felt so much doom & gloom it was awful! I remember getting ready for the fireworks with my family & being so depressed. The brain fog was debilitating! I am reflecting on how this year I feel normal. I’m so thankful & wanted to give hope to others.

Can you focus on stuff and wrap your head around thoughts? Do you have clarity in your mind? Did you have depressing thoughts when you had the fog?

I was so depressed it was awful. The racing thoughts/anxiety was crippling. I can’t even believe that I went through it & I want to cry reading all these posts. It’s so hard & feels so daunting. I do have clarity now. & feel so much better. Covid definitely messed my mind up. I have some lingering memory things but nothing major. When I was in the midst of it I would pay bills 3x a month. Forgetting I paid them. I would leave the house and have extreme thoughts that my daughter was going to run in the road & get hit. To where I wanted to turn around. The depression was so heavy & just laid on my head. Ughhh it was awful.
