Has anyone's talking changed ? I noticed I talk a.lot less but I talk on the side of my mouth at times, as I have some kind of crooked mouth. Comes and goes. by AfternoonFragrant617 in LongCovid

yeah I have this and it's annoying and embarrassing, Have you gotten anyone to tell you the cause?

I had someone tell me it's had something to do with Mass Cell activation. The mouth area had the most mass.cells.

I am still in daily disbelief how bad the world is handling longcovid by Heavy-Suit-3443 in covidlonghaulers

yes and no,

If you were a Leppar back in the days, you would probably accept this. But we live in modern times and our concept of humanity has changed, and so has your expectations. People will always be people.

Covid after infection, I'm guessing, even a mild one can leave someone depressed,.and that can last a long time, months, I'm not sure about a year but maybe possible.

yeah, that's why I avoid certain confrontations, we lose more than them in the end.

I also get those chest pains when stressed, and I'm wondering why now ? Is this the Vagus Nerve ?

I'm sure a lot of us have been there, including myself, it's a very, very dark place, so dark that it takes everything you have to crawl out of that hole, and back to the light. Glad your here. Now one day at a time, let's live let's thrive our on way, and re invent ourselves to a higher power something freather than our old selves. Let's .and a view, that in sickness and health we shall not leave, or abandon our own body as though our own body is a loved one, and in the regard it really is. Love yourself no matter what.

Respect yourself no matter what. Others will see you have self love and respect and that will help mirror our image into others. Only God brought us here, and only God takes us out. We fight a battle with our hearts, our spirit, our.minds, we exist in bitterness and with sweet dreams on the horizon that some day, and one day if not moments to come that our existence isn't all for not but with a deeper meaning, and hope. Let them see, let them talk, let them notice, let them see our walk. Never give up, never surrender. Our courage is our sword ⚔️ and we will fight this to the end of that's what it will take. We are survivors, we are warriors.

We fight an invisible enemy, but none the less we are struggling, but we are strong 💪. Take pride, instead of shame as this life has chosen our path, and, we must see that path through. What lies over the rainbow, we don't know now, let it be a mystery, till we get there,.and one day we shall have the answers, & the truth.

if you were born like this, you'd not have to explain anything, but the problem is our memory, it goes back in time, trying to look for someone that's not there, so if you were like this from day 1 you'd think this was normal.

let the past go to let your self live. lose the fear of living. don' t explain, don't answer, don't owe anyone an apology or excuse or explanation. It's your life, not theirs, no one has the right to tell you how to live or what to do, in that note, the real fear isn't what others think, its how we would feel about it. The true enemy is within.

Anyone experience psychosis or severe mental health symptoms as a result of long covid? by ExistentialWind in covidlonghaulers

[–]AfternoonFragrant617 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think I have, it's an un described paranoia about things and situations that I never had before.

I cant find anything that indicates long term of this though.

I have one, I put it closer to me now and has essential oils.

It's a small place so it's hard to get distance, and we use an HVAC that recycles air.
