Did anyone else find this? I’m a fit twenty something and so wasn’t really worried about the virus. I do get very ill with colds every winter and usually get hit hard, the doctor has said I’m immunocomprimised due to the extent of illnesses I’ve had but tests came back inconclusive and I got sick of going to doctors.
So I expected to be really ill when I inevitably got it.
My experience was a slight sore throat for 1.5 days, loss of smell and taste for 2 days (could still tell tastes apart - ie bitter, sweet, could taste beer almost and wine but everything else tasteless). Main symptom was a slight headache. Could easily have ran 10k and gone to work as normal. It was far more pleasant than a normal cold.
Yet the minute I got the positive result I came down in a sweat so unbearable and fainted. It was only when I realised how ridiculous I was being that I went back to being fine again. Isolating was fine since we are in tier 4 anyway.
So has anyone else found that the virus was a fine but the anxiety was the destructive part?
Honestly my mental health is gone. I’m relieved I can’t catch it now (or so research suggests) but I can’t stay indoors any longer. I need normal life, I am so bored I want to cry all the time.
