Being a beacon of light in Long COVID

Yesterday I was so anxious to share my latest account of living with Long COVID. Having received this comment I am inspired to share it again:

"Thank you again for being that beacon of light for me and helping me realise I’m not alone. The first time you did it was with Eyes without Sparkle, nearly 15 years ago when I was living the nightmare of PND and psychosis and now again with your blog.

Sometimes I feel like I’m going to drive myself mad trying to figure out how to deal with the aftermath of having Covid. This time last year I was just over the symptoms that would make me feel like I was going to die, quite literally.

I’m a Nurse, there for others, working with cancer patients - I find myself nearly in tears because I can’t get my head together some days, I’m exhausted, anxious more than I have learned to live with having had anxiety for so many years, a non-coper, a failure and .... I’ve forgotten the word I was going to use, that’s how quickly my brain fog snaps in.

You can relate to all of the above, as I do to your words.

I struggle as a single mum to cope with my now teenage Son more than I did when I was so ill when he was born.

Long Covid is in some ways far worse than the virus itself. But I plod know, trying not to drive myself mad by trying to figure out how to get better, get myself together, shrug it off. Thank you so much for this blog, it hits the nail on the head."

So today WITH CONFIDENCE I share again

Life after getting COVID-19 a year later

Who do you know that it might encourage?
