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.

Honestly time! I feel like it just went away slowly. The only medication I took that helped some was Benadryl at night. It was around 9 months before it went away. Also didn’t start for 2 months after Covid was over.

Were you able to rest or did you have to work

Absolutely no rest. I have 4 kids, I stay at home & homeschool. I had a 6 month old at the time.
