I have recovered from Corona Virus. Its 6 weeks now and I can tell you that the after effects are real. I have anxiety that I will never get over the fatigue, brain fog, inability to form sentences and words and headaches which make my work days very difficult to get thru.

Anecdotal but my SO had the same symptoms for about 3 months and since then they’ve gotten steadily better and are mostly gone now (about 6-7 months later)! Just to give you some hope that they can definitely clear up still

Oh no I’m so sorry. Anything you can find suggesting foods, exercises (if that is possible), vitamins, maybe meditation, etc.? I’m curious are doctors suggesting oxygen treatments to help with recovery? Watched something recently about covid long term issues long hauler do you have medical providers near you providing treatment? Might be worth it to look? Again so sorry. Please let us know your progress.

I feel inadequate. I want to be a rising star like you all. 🥲

I didn't apply for a job that would have set me up for the future in the government. I wouldn't have to worry about money or future jobs. My boss had just given me a small pay rise and talked up the future and so I felt good. I now severely regret not applying for the job and cannot stop thinking about it to the point of insomnia and depression. I even contacted the employer but too late. It's a small town and rarely anything comes up. I hate myself and feel like I failed my family. :(
