Covid-19 Making me feel over emotional

[Ceriane]

I have had Covid-19 in the last couple of weeks and have been really unwell with it. However in the few days before and now I feel like I am on some kind of intense emotional roller coaster, from intense anxiety to intense sadness to overthinking and rage. I just don’t feel like myself at all. I feel like I’m mentally ill. Other than anxiety I don’t have any mental health issues. I’m really scared. Is this common with Covid-19?

I felt like that when I had Covid too. Being honest it lasted probably around 6-8 weeks (the low mood) so be really gentle with yourself. It will lift, just give it time and make sure to speak to people around you about how you're feeling. Best wishes

Thank you. Hope you are feeling better. I will give this time and hopefully I will feel more like myself by Christmas.
