@ravenscimaven this sounds horrifying. thank you for sharing. i have not heard much about these psychiatric symptoms post-COVID. it feels like we learn something new about the impact of this virus everyday..
@_akuaaa also, if someone is sharing on a public platform that they experienced post-COVID psychosis, it stands to reason that they are open to sharing, at least in some detail, about the experience, which is something i would like to be aware of as a neighbor to ppl recovering from COVID
got kind of sad when i realized that another near stranger from college I occasionally interacted with has blocked me on social media and then I remembered my own sister has me blocked on here and idk I'm just not sure my rejection sensitive ass needs to be out here anymore
my favorite one today was "me and my girlfriend talk about this a lot. she's southern and sometimes she'll say something technically grammatically incorrect and she always says 'does it matter? as long as you know what im talking about' and she's right." ๐
absolutely insane that a month ago I was hopping out of bed at 6 am, getting fully dressed and accessorizing, excitedly cleaning my house, and reading a chapter of a book before 10 am and now I can barely do the getting out of bed part.
it is hilarious how i rly thought i had depression beat it doesn't make sense!!! i put all the pieces of my life together in a new way that seemed to be working and i STILL get the blues???
@frickingneena yea I'm just not sure. I can't identify a trigger other than just settling in? like there's less novelty and excitement now. I think I just have to move like every 6 months for the rest of my life ๐ญ
but its still better i think? the suicidal ideation is not an intense so far. i have new language and communication skills for my support system. i am trying. i am sober. i just want my rose colored glasses back!!!
but here we are again. i refuse to accept the bipolar diagnosis and the medication bc i still firmly believe that mental health care in the US is gobbledygook but it really does feel like a switch has flipped, like i'm coming off a high, like i lost something and can't find it!
