Summary
They caught covid in November 2022 and afterwards felt an emotional wreck, with far worse PMS, frequent suicidal thoughts and emotional dysregulation; an ADHD diagnosis followed. An SNRI, along with the sun coming out, brought about two months of feeling pretty good. Six days before posting, a second covid infection left them crying for hours at a time, avoiding their partner, fearing a repeat of the first illness.
