[QUOTE="zand, post: 2321840, member: 85197"] I struggle with talking about it because I don't know where to start. I read your comments and think ahh yes, me too. I guess depression and anxiety were getting lost in all the other covid symptoms. Not explaining myself very well. .umm well I have fatigue so that makes me feel down. Today I have a very painful back because I planted a few bulbs yesterday. It wasn't hard work, just planting them into soft compost, not heavy clay soil or anything but today my back hurts and some of my chest muscles do too. So I feel down because I am in pain and it's probably so bad because of long covid. But maybe I have depression now too. Maybe it's not simply feeling down just because I have fatigue and am in pain. It's all rolled up into a nasty bundle and I don't have the will or energy to start unravelling it. I spoke to my GP on Monday about long covid. But really what can he do? Yes there's various clinics on offer but I don't know what I need. What I needed was oxygen back in March. The damage has been done now and I don't want to bother getting anxious about visits to hospital clinics 15 miles away. It was helpful to tell the doc that I had been very ill with it. It was helpful that he believed me, but there was no-one there when I needed them. I can't be bothered with them now. When I got the phone call back in June to tell me I was moderate risk, I said I had had COVID already and the lady asked if I had problems breathing! Well yes I Still do sometimes but no-one gave a **** when I was blacking out through too much coughing and too little oxygen. Just fed up. It's all so pointless. ... [/QUOTE]
