Summary
A Reddit user who fell ill from COVID about four years earlier described a long-COVID symptom they called depression and anxiety felt in the body rather than the mind. It was initially debilitating and came on after normal activities. By September 2025 it no longer followed ordinary activity, though it returned mildly after an attempted anaerobic exercise session. They named no treatment.

It appeared recently only after I tried to perform anaerobic excercise, yet it wasn't as strong as before.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, in the order they describe; they don’t give enough times to place each step. Hover or tap a point. 1 step says too little to place on the scale and is only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
