anxiety, depression, and brain fog

I am new here and really struggling with depression.

I had a mild case of Covid about 2 months ago. Since then Ive developed anxiety, depression, and brain fog. Everyday activities are now extremely hard to do. I had to take a leave of absence from work because I couldn’t do my job anymore. Driving and going into stores gives me extreme anxiety to the point that I don’t want to leave my house. When I’m at home I have really bad depression and can’t get motivated to do much of anything.

Hi, I had Covid this past March. Even though I was given monoclonal antibodies right away I was still very sick. It took about two months to start feeling better. During that time I also developed severe anxiety and depression. I also had Covid induced delerium ! I know some people who the effects are very long lasting. Perhaps you should contact your doctor if you haven’t already. Thinking of and praying for you.

what if you start looking at this as long COVID? There is information out there and the vast majority do get better. It might be motivating to know others have faced the same thing. My fear for you is that acting as if it is depression causes you to impede recovery when it isn’t necessary. (There is actually evidence of this phenomenon)

hi. Thanks for your suggestion. I’m looking into long haul Covid clinics in my area.

Hi Sorry to hear about you’re situation life sometimes takes us on many twists and turns the important thing is their is ways to lighten our burdens which we think we absorb and can drain our positive energy negative emotion working with thought self conscious being gratitude mood finding space with those who share our interests that recharge our our core self care joy hope compassion and wellness talking and receiving being valued you are worthy in the company of others if we achieve take note of our senses pain what a joyious would bring do not let worry be a stumbling block of emotions talk talk adjust realign good relationships helpful feelings understanding self awareness consider self reactions or seek advice from a health practitioner could be a diffiency always best to evaluate just changing something positive hope thing will move on with you my thoughts are with you
