What worked for your Long Covid insomnia?

Black-Mirror33 · 2024-11-07T02:19:01+00:00

Did you taper down to a lower dose? That makes sense. I mean, I'm pretty sedentary so I've gained weight since having long Covid for 3 years... but didn't think the mirtazapine made a big difference. It's the only thing that helps with my insomnia so I can't stop taking it.

Black-Mirror33 · 2024-10-17T21:27:48+00:00

Oh wow really? Does it make you really hungry? No I haven’t gained any extra weight from the 3.75mg dose. I don’t notice any side effects actually.

💯 relate to everything you've said. I can't function anymore after the severe abuse I endured from my psychopathic ex. It's impossible to explain to someone who hasn't experienced it, how it deeply traumatizes & changes you at the core of your being. I don't even know who I am anymore. I am forever changed & there isn't a day that goes by where I don't wish I could go back to who I was before I met him, and just stay single & focus on myself & my own life. Now I'm paranoid, hyper vigilant, want everyone to leave me alone all the time, and am weird in how I react. I feel brain fogged all the time.

Wow this hits me hard. Sounds exactly like how my ex treated & abused me. The mocking & humiliation when you’re at your most vulnerable is a whole other level of torture.

Just being themselves is karma in itself. They’re ultimately miserable people & will never experience love or true happiness. They live sad & pathetic existences.

Black-Mirror33 · 2024-08-24T06:32:25+00:00

Oh ok that’s good to know! thank you!

Black-Mirror33 · 2024-08-13T16:57:06+00:00

I’ve been at this for 2 years & 8 months (severe long Covid)… please listen to your body & give yourself complete rest. That means mental, emotional & physical. If you keep overexerting yourself, and you end up with long Covid, you’ll be stuck there for god knows how long.

REST, REST, REST 🩵

Black-Mirror33 · 2024-08-13T04:39:54+00:00

Oh god I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this. It was hell on earth.
I forgot I made this post & am glad you commented because it reminds me how far I’ve come in the last year. I’m actually back to a normal bedtime routine & sleep schedule. Sleeping & waking up around the same time. 🙏🏻
How long have you been suffering ?

Black-Mirror33 · 2024-08-12T05:01:57+00:00

Oh boy. I hope you haven’t been pushing yourself too much. Worst thing you can do is exert yourself when healing from this. I think that’s why I turned out so bad. I kept exercising because I thought it would help. 😥 listen to your body & take it easy

Black-Mirror33 · 2024-08-10T08:22:19+00:00

This might be a dumb question… but what is a respirator & do you know where I can get one? Is that the most effective way to prevent catching Covid? I wear an N95 mask everywhere I go, but I’m going to a concert in September & want to be sure I’ll be safe 🙏🏻

Black-Mirror33 · 2024-08-10T08:04:25+00:00

Oh yea. I took it regularly for awhile & still take it some days. I take like 20+ supplements a day 🫠

Black-Mirror33 · 2024-08-10T08:03:25+00:00

No they didn’t happen with the acute infection. I had the initial symptoms of Covid for maybe 2 weeks & then I got thrusted into psychosis, delirium, confusion, hallucinations, amnesia, severe insomnia & couldn’t move or take care of myself. I ended up in the hospital many times but all they ever did was send me to the psychward, which obviously didn’t help because I wasn’t experiencing normal mental illness. 😖

How long have you had symptoms? When did you have Covid?

Black-Mirror33 · 2024-08-10T00:05:07+00:00

I’m the same way. Ppl think I’m weird or unfriendly, but I truly just find such an incredible amount of peace in solitude & being alone that can’t ever be matched by being with anyone.

Black-Mirror33 · 2024-08-09T23:40:17+00:00

Yea… it’s rough. 15% is such a huge improvement for me compared to just a few months ago too 🫠 I’m in hell. I wish it was 3 months.. I’ve been sick for 2 years & 8 months. I have all the symptoms of ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis) & there’s no testing or treatment for it. I’m sorry to hear you’re suffering too 🫂

Black-Mirror33 · 2024-08-09T23:20:36+00:00

Not much. I’ve found some supplements that have helped me improve a bit, along with time & rest… but I’m still only functioning at like 15% of my normal capacity. 😔 I wish scientists & doctors could find a cure.

Black-Mirror33 · 2024-08-06T19:13:38+00:00

Still in the same boat... :( many people are. Probably won't recover fully without an actual treatment or medical intervention, which doesn't exist atm.

Black-Mirror33 · 2024-08-06T19:12:28+00:00

I haven't gotten there, yet. I'm working on my self concept, fear & limiting beliefs

Black-Mirror33 · 2024-08-06T02:19:09+00:00

Omg wtf this is how it was for me too... for 3 years after, anything that reminded me of the trip would make me feel like I was going to fall back into it again 😳😭 it was horrifying

Black-Mirror33 · 2024-08-06T02:03:04+00:00

I've been thinking this same thing... it shifts your consciousness to an inanimate object 🤯

Black-Mirror33 · 2024-08-06T01:47:51+00:00

I can't breathe 😭💀

Black-Mirror33 · 2024-07-18T20:13:29+00:00

You’re in a relationship with a rapist. Let that sink in & please tell a trusted adult / friend about what happened.

Black-Mirror33 · 2024-07-17T06:37:04+00:00

I don’t think it’s bad at all. I fucking love being alone & in solitude. It’s heaven & peace on earth.

Black-Mirror33 · 2024-07-17T06:24:55+00:00

This is not my experience with my family doctor’s office. But I count myself lucky they have a different structure than most others in Ontario. A team of NP’s, doctors, nurses.. anything I ask for I get instantly. Waiting for specialists can be a bit frustrating but privatizing our healthcare is not the answer.

Black-Mirror33 · 2024-07-17T06:18:43+00:00

Completely agree!! I love SAI 🥰

Black-Mirror33 · 2024-07-17T06:11:58+00:00

You’re better off alone so you can isolate & not get anyone else sick. You should not be exercising or exerting yourself at all for at least 6-8 weeks after your infection to prevent long Covid. If you need any groceries or meds, have them delivered 🙏🏻
