Why So Many Long COVID Patients Are Reporting Suicidal Thoughts : Coronavirus

https://old.reddit.com/r/Coronavirus/comments/vbq6d3/why_so_many_long_covid_patients_are_reporting?sort=controversial

COVID munchies post their :marseyl:

Covid was by far the one event that has impacted my physical and mental health more than anything in my life so far. A year of chest pain and fatigue and now crushing brain fog. It all makes sense why people would feel like this.

Is the chest pain a persistent dull ache that never really goes away?

My wife has had this for the past 6 months, finally going to the doctors about it.

Edit: Also she has had the fatigue and regular headaches. She's 22....

We have never officially had covid or tested positive but we suspect that we may have had it a year ago while away. ( we isolated dw)

/r/starcitizen poster and active in NFT/shitcoin subs. This guy is a bagholder in every sense of the word :!marseylaugh:

Post-viral syndromes are no joke. I moderate a sub for chronic health issues that are commonly post-viral (including a subset of long covid) and there are a ton of posts about feeling suicidal.

lol this guy is a mod of /r/cfs and a 15 year old account. Probably deserves his own post.

I don't feel suicidal (yet).

I do however hate life, and feel like nothing matters and nothing will ever improve now.

I'm 29, triple vaccinated. Caught Covid in March, now on month 3 since positive test.

I still have: headaches, brain fog, fatigue, chest pains, muscle atrophy, weight loss, loss of s*x drive. This all leads to anxiety and an inability to do much outdoors. For a previously healthy 29 year old, that sucks.

Wow, very troubling that a previously healthy 29 year old who posted about weighing 130kg (286.6 burgers) at age 15 is feeling these effects

To be fair it seems like they were at a healthy weight before COVID, but still.

Its not just that its very painful and extremely debilitating but also that no doctors are willing to treat the symptoms and society refuses to help anyone with the condition to make their lives easier. The fact is long haulers have been abandoned by society and the medical profession completely and they are in astonishing levels of disability and pain the likes of which we only see from people in their final days of cancer, where we would normally provide lot of aid and pain medication.

But its the same way ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia and Gulf War syndrome sufferers have been treated for 80 years at this point so its not new, its just appalling.

Long COVID just as bad if not worse than terminal cancer, many such cases :marseycry:

Every respiratory illness in the history of man leaves lingering symptoms. My 80 year old grams got pneumonia and felt like shit for ages after. You never heard her crying about long pneumonia

Got it bad, completely lost taste. He eats food for the texture now.

What about the nutrition?

Yeah there's also a long version of every respiratory-based common cold out there if ur body was in bad enough shape (whether age, weight, immunocompromised, whatever) for the illness to leave lasting organ/tissue damage. If anyone in public health cared about cleaning up the mess they've made in the public psyche they'd be pointing this out, but I guess they figure there's still time to griftmaxx by covidmaxxing.

I’d miss being able to taste good food but I’d be beyond shredded if I had that, just eat Kale and straight protein for every single meal

Surely you're not a complete slave to your senses?

I’m not a heckin chonker if that’s what you’re driving at but if you’re eating on a regular schedule there’s no reason to not make it at least enjoyable. I enjoy cooking for myself and others. Even for meal prep, I’m not gonna just boil up some unseasoned chicken and rice it just takes way more time to actually cook healthier food decently and to keep a consistent variety. If my taste buds were completely shot I could save a lot of time by just making a ton of bland shit and not put any effort into it

No, but a partial slave at least.

I doubt it tbh. Consider that Michael Hutchence of INXS looked fantastic but the loss of his sense of smell is commonly thought to have been his 13th reason why. Also this was well before Covid so it probably actually happened.

Because they call it fibromyalgia or whatever. Inflammation is terrible for the nervous system.

You never heard her crying

Well how'd you know she felt like shit for ages?

Oh she still bitched about it don't get me wrong, just not constantly but it would come up from time to time. We actually had to basically force her to go to the doctor after she had a few bad months, and the doctor basically said "yea you're old and had pneumonia, it will persist for a while drink a lot of lot fluids and try to stay as physical as possible"
