7 Upvotes

Bringing light to what some people may not know yet. Post viral infection from sars can cause this horrible disease. Words can’t describe that hell. Anyone new here looking for what’s caused your severe depression disorder. Anhedonia- complete loss of joy pleasure. Fells Burned up dopamine receptors.

Psychosis and intense anger is how mine started. Severe anxiety impending doom. PTSD then complete and total darkness. I could look into the eyes of my wife and feel like a cold blooded psychopath.

There is people who suffer this from all different types of stuff. If you believe long covid could have started this issues cross check your symptoms and see if you have any other hallmark symptoms. Pots CFS PEM etc.

I’m in full remission now and I am only writting this to prevent unnecessary loss of life. Meaning I know how close someone reading this is to killing themselfs and I’m here to tell you it’s gets so much better. My quality of life has improved greatly. It’s not a straight line God knows I would be lying if I said it was.

You will beat this and come out the other side. I was so sick for so long I thought there was 0% chance of recovery but I’m telling you it’s possible. Your body will heal from damage you didn’t even know it could sustain.

53 months shortness of breath.

28 months with anhedonia/Depression disorder

48 months POTS PEM -CFS-

50 months impending doom and anxiety

If you suspect this is what’s damaged you. Understand it takes a long long long time. Don’t dim the bulb to quickly. God bless all of you and keep safe.

A slightly different version from a post I did, last week about locations...among you, who is in the UK? (And, unfortunately, in the grip of the notorious NHS, over here!)

VENT! Idk

Idek anymore I'm just so numb and I got into the science based specialty high school I've been wanting to go to for years and years and there's a school get together field trip that I was really excited to go to but now I just feel empty and life doesn't even seem worth it atp, I can't even tell if this is real or I'm just dreaming

I genuinely don't know what to do or think anymore, I can't feel anything at all

My cat came up to me and started purring and I just sat there, she looked up at me when I didn't pet her and usually I would feel really bad and immediately shower her with love and attention, but I just felt empty and numb when she was purring, I'm genuinely such a terrible person and idk I just don't even care at this point.

Sorry for the paragraphs, this is my first vent lol
