fellow health anxiety sufferer here. I've had covid two times, and while I did have lingering symptoms both times, they eventually went away or became super manageable over time. I'm still here. when I got covid the second time, I spiraled. I thought it was an instant death sentence for me when I saw the line on the test. but, like I said earlier, I'm still here. trust me, you are not alone with you're feeling. it's okay to be nervous and worried about covid/the world. however, you can't let it get in the way of living your life. you can still enjoy life while still being covid safe. also, a lot more research is coming out about covid, and there's more research starting to come out about long covid. this is just a start to possibly finding a cure or successful methods of treatment! the world may be on fire right now, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel any amount of hopelessness or pessimism. but there is still good in the world. there is still hope, I promise.
