What Long Covid Has Done to Me

Long Covid has changed my life in ways I didn’t expect. 

The crippling fatigue has been the worst of it. There are stretches of days I spend in bed, too tired to do much of anything. 

Thankfully, the brain fog isn’t as bad as it’s been in the past. 

Some days I feel like a failure because I just can’t function like I did before. 

I lost my job and my energy has been too inconsistent to honestly look for work. 

I’ve missed out on so much of what I’ve wanted to do: working in my flower beds, going to my happy place, even doing chores around the house. 

It’s really been hard on me, but I manage to keep my head above water.
