anxiety post covid a year ago

[MaCass70]

does anyone get crippling anxiety since having covid pnemonia? I’ve never had anxiety before this and it’s now a year later and I can’t stand it. I am on Ativan twice a day which helps me get out of bed and feel semi normal but I don’t get why it’s happening and how to be normal again?

My anxiety and depression has got a lot worst since COVID started and also since testing postive . Have you thought about seeing a therapist ?. They really helped me in finding good coping strategies to help me deal with my anxiety .

I am going to go to a therapist but right now my Dr is changing my antidepressant and I wanted it to work a little because I have trouble even going in to places like that without puking 🤦🏻‍♀️

Good luck with your therapist and meditation sometimes it takes a few tries to get things working. Here is a link to a YouTube channel . I find these videos very helpful . She covers a lot of stuff anxiety , depression and Dearing with emotions .

My brain and body haven’t felt right since I had covid back in February some of the doctors I’ve seen say that no way covid could’ve caused it I’m like okay then but my mental health really took a dip after covid

I think the Covid thing did a number on many of us, especially the ones who were already vulnerable. I was locked in for over 2 years, because I'm classed as Vulnerable to infection.

It has made me less sure of myself, and more aware of contact with other folk, especially as the current variant is more easily spread. My fitness has also declined sharply.
