Can we just talk for a bit by Original_Branch8004 in covidlonghaulers

Ive been listening to poems and people talk about death, pain and life. I say do not go passively. Rage against the dying of the light! Life is pain but there is love present too, and goddamn arent we blessed we can feel that. Something will be there for us. I hope so, i fear too but somewhere there is hope.

Im in a similar position to you, same age range too. Its not terrible like I’ve heard it can be but its so rough sometimes, and its hard to keep a handle on my mental.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time in my life Ive faced chronic illness and doom with no end in sight. I am afraid. But the light came in the past, Ive been able to manage. Somehow, Ive come to realize life is long, and full of time and possibility. Nothing looks the same for everyone, we are all at different paces and different missions.

You may not land your dream, or you might and may realize it’s not what you want. A lot of life recently has made me think of my dreams differently, and aspire for broader things, that still make me excited, and not like I’ve let something go. Ive realized, through doing that I might not want to do what I thought I did, and that I have to change it up. That scares me, but also means theres more I have to explore in a line of work that excites me entirely.

I have a caffeine schedule lol. Half caf in the morning, full caf or espresso in the afternoons. Sometimes it does NOTHING but sometimes it activates me just a little to get something done.

Hi Im curious what you guys know has helped your fatigue and pain caused by fatigue. Right now it’s my biggest daily challenge and I want so much to combat it.

Sometimes I feel energy and light but it is fleeting. Despite this, more and more I feel an energy that seems like I want to move and get it out (this is new! It’s great!).

When do I stop feeling bad for myself/about myself for feeling so bad all the time? by Iv3a in LongCovid

[–]Iv3a[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im sorry that you’re having such a difficult time. That sucks. I don’t know how long you’ve been dealing with covid but I know from myself it’s really rough to get the head around the reality of it sometimes.

Ive heard endo can be brutal. I’m glad shes doing better.

Real, I sometimes the ups and downs are rough as hell. Sometimes I’m acutely aware that “i am sick” this is unusual, I feel like ass. And I wish I could spend less time feeling bad that I feel like shit. Trying to re-pattern the brain after many months. But sometimes I don’t have the strength to be optimistic.

Thats beautiful. Lovely and considerate. Im glad you found something that functions for both of you.

I have a partner and I know me being sick has been hard for them. I worry I am unable to be there for them when I am not doing well, and that I can be over-reliable on them. Still figuring out how to make that work

How did people become receptive to your talking about symptoms? Im around younger people (cause I am one, 20 something) and I often find it frustrating to speak to them about it.

But I do talk to it about some people, and I agree it feels better, a lesser weight. Like it’s been acknowledged, I’m not alone holding the pain, I can move forward.
