Four years ago today, I contracted #Covid and was turned into a different person. As time passed, I realized that I wasn't just exhausted at my core but that everything before 2022 was suddenly a distant memory, like a blissful childhood long gone.
Now life is burdened, devoid of spontaneity: every action drains energy, demanding constant planning - as if living under crushing gravity. When you're constantly tired, nothing feels real.
And yet, in this bleakness, I press on.

Apologies for the repost - I've switched accounts and could no longer link publicly to the original. I've also rephrased it slightly and borrowed the gravity term from someone else going through the same - I think it perfectly captures how constant and inescapable this condition is. If you'd like to know more, the "simple english" ME/CFS wikipedia article is a quick read: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myalgic_encephalomyelitis/chronic_fatigue_syndrome 🖖 #LongCovid #MECFS
