Summary

This person caught COVID in October 2022 and again in December. The first infection wrecked sleep and sharply worsened anxiety, depression and OCD; they improved by late November, but a December illness brought fever, nausea and back pain, then they tested positive for COVID again with fever and delirium, setting them back. By late January 2023 they were still exhausted, coughing and sleeping badly, with mental health fluctuating and far worse than before COVID.
