I was just reading today that covid can cause depression and anxiety. I didn't know that.

Hi! Yes! I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression my whole life, but with the pandemic my anxiety intensified so badly that I’ve barely left my home the last two year. I’m not scared of contracting Covid, it’s just an overall anxious feeling about leaving home and being put in any social situation. I want to leave home but the physical symptoms are so horrendous it becomes impossible. Sweating, confusion, agitation.. a feeling of not being in control at all. I no longer am able to work, avoid everyone and have become so depressed. I’m a good person yet I have no feelings one way or another, so upsetting. Nothing brings any type of satisfaction or happiness and I only feel somewhat ok in my room alone. I don’t know what to do anymore :/

Yes... the list is unbelievable stuff after the initial case of Covid. Some of us like myself have Long Covid. I'm allergic to bees and couldn't get the injections at first...then I got sick. Very sick, but didn't go to the hospital... I'm afraid of them.
