Fatigue and no sense of smell

I'm on day 14 since I started feeling unwell. Couldn't smell or taste anything from about 3 days into the illness.
Most of my symptoms have gone but I'm worried it's taking so long to get my senses back fully. I have about 50% of taste back but can't smell coffee, perfume etc 😥
I've also come out today to spend my Xmas vouchers but honestly, I don't seem to have enthusiasm for anything and feel a bit depressed!
Energy levels are still nowhere near normal levels. I've tested negative yesterday. I had Covid 2 years ago and gutted I've got it again.
How long until I can smell and taste normally? Last time it took about 3 weeks and I was much more ill then.

I know two family members who had it in October. Once can't smell still and the other can't taste.

My partner had it in August 2020 and her smell still isn't right.....

I had it in October 2020...my senses if both taste and smell seem to come and go... they're never completely absent but are always less acute than they were... this is great when cleaning cat litter trays, less so when enjoying a favourite meal...

Should have said: I lost both entirely for 3 weeks...
