I have been going to a therapist for some
time now and it has been helping me. She told me how I did not mention covid that much and I told her that my main concern was giving it to my family (I’m living in an apartment in college atm). Well, I got covid now and my anxiety could not be worse. I lost my sense of smell and taste and I’m really anxious. I feel in constant distress and I’m triggering myself reading posts about people not getting their senses back. I hope I am in that percentage of people that do get it back, this is my first day but I am already feeling lost. I have so much shit to deal with at the moment and I did not believe that losing my senses would cause me this much anxiety and sadness. My boyfriend also got covid and we are isolating together so that gives me comfort that I have him through this but I’m also taking care of him because he has other symptoms that I don’t have like fever. Has anyone gone through covid and lost their senses but regained them? I need some positivity, google wants me to read only negative experiences for some reason and my brain can’t take that, It needs some positive outcomes from covid. I know I don’t have it as bad as other people, I haven’t visited my family for this same reason in months and now I will definitely wait until I’m sure I don’t have covid before Christmas (I’m kinda glad I got it right now and not closer to mid December). If y’all could tell me how y’all coped with having covid that would be nice. I’m here wide awake at 3 am anxious trying to relax before I get a panic attack. I hate everything right now, every single problem that I have and I’m working on and then I get covid, the cherry on top. I know some might say that at least I’m not in a worse position as other people with covid and I truly understand tht and I’m grateful for that, hopefully I don’t develop a more severe case of covid in the following days obviously (something else that my brain is telling me that will happen and I’m going crazy thinking about it).
