Aftermath of covid and icu

[Geminilass71]

In 2020 I contracted Covid. Had severe pneumonia my lungs were collapsing and was going into respiratory failure, was ventilated then put into a medically induced coma for a month. I have absolutely no recollection of any of it. What I do remember though is the hallucinations and dreams whilst in the coma, very disturbing and traumatic as they felt so real. To this day I’m still struggling with cognitive issues. Fatigue, insomnia, depression the list goes on. While I’m thankful I’m still alive, trying to cope with the changes within me I struggle with, not all of me came out of the coma that’s for sure. I have had cbt therapy, physcology therapy for long covid and now I’m starting Emdr therapy. I’m proud of how far I have come in my journey , I just miss the person I used to be.
