I know this is a personal question but did anyone have more severe case of COVID (even with being vaccinated and boosted) and do you feel like you have long term cognitive issues from it still?

Brain fog, reduced muscle endurance, and the biggest one - hair loss.

Also, my cardio fitness has consistently been dropping (according to Apple Watch).

I still feel like I have some residual brain fog. But I’m also 48 and have had a ton of stress and grief in the past few months, which I think also play a role.

I think I had brain fog for a few months. I say that only because I can tell in hindsight that what I thought was complete burnout may actually have been from mild Covid.

I had a major depressive episode shortly after Covid. For context I had Covid for a month - fairly severe - oxygen levels around 82-86 - with extreme headaches, a pain that can’t be described with words. Unfortunately neurological symptoms lasted long after Covid. Hair loss too. And long term impact to smell, I still can’t smell tropical fruits as such, which seems kind of odd but it’s persistent.

Extreme hair loss and some brain fog :(

It’s hard to understand COVID-19 rates of infection where I’m at or was, and the contracts was not inline with corporate ideals at least not in the IT sector. Their ideals was radical and the spread of harmful information on past events to prevent ethnicities to get vaccinated was alarming. It has highest infection rate in private sector. Don’t know death rates was strictly remote and put on non-sanctioned project NDA wasn’t signed and never knew until it came down the grapevine.

I know I’m overthinking this, health comes first, etc…but I’m still so scared to tell people.

So I have completely lost interest in my area of practice mainly because I haven’t been exposed to many matters (our team is really slow) and I am the most junior in the team. So billable work is never constant. I feel like this has impacted my interest and stagnated my growth. I am thinking of moving into a different area of practice that I’m interested in. Has anyone ever done this? I’m actually depressed and I really hate being given work now. I have ADHD. Please advise
