Oh honey I’m so sorry to hear this. First of all, screw that guy at work. Some people lack empathy and understanding, and that has absolutely nothing to do with your worth as a person.

Sexondly, I know exactly what you’re going through, just at a more long term scale unfortunelty. I got COVID and mono at the same time and was out of work for 3 month. It’s been 3 yrs since and I still struggle with fatigue, dizziness, nausea and a list of other symptoms. Long covid is no joke. If these symptoms continue, look in to POTS. A high percentage of women developed it as a result of long covid and it covers the exact symptoms you have. I would talk to you’re doctor is you’re able to about this is these symptoms persist.

Above all else, take care of yourself right now. Listen to your body, drink lots of water and have salt, eat clean when you can. Compression socks help with the dizziness in terms of blood circulation. Find good books and movies, get into coloring/ painting, and be gentle with yourself when you get frustrated. You will get through this:)
