'I’m one of the 19 percent of adults who struggle with long COVID months after contracting the virus.'
attended a friend’s wedding last year knowing that, in a middle of a pandemic, any social situation would come with a certain level of risk. But I didn’t expect that I’d be one of the folks still dealing with COVID-19 almost a year later.
I’ll be honest: I’ve never been a particularly athletic person. But in my previous life, I took workout classes and loved LA hike-walks with my girlfriends. Now I can barely make it around my block without gasping for air. It’s a short block. I often work laying down because I can work a little longer and with a little less brain fog if I’m not using the energy it takes to sit up at my desk.
I don’t expect the people around me to have fully digested what’s happening to me. I’ve always struggled to ask for help even when a task is wildly out of sync with what’s reasonable—evidenced by the black eye I gave myself when I tried to mount my television alone several months pre-COVID . For years, “showing up” was a part of my personality and it’s painful that I can’t be that person anymore. I’m ashamed that I’m too tired to attend baby showers or birthday parties.
