    When I was a kid growing up, I was referred to as “The World’s Nicest Asshole” Well, it’s true. 👍🏽 😜

    It’s been just over 2.5 years (or 947 days) since I got sick with #LongCovid I have not worked since March 7, 2020. I have had no support systems, no disability income and no positive prognosis on my health. I’m 43 and four years married. Let that sink in. 🥺

    No. People need to be punished for their crimes. Simple. Your good book even says so.

    I’m tired of being tired. I’m tired of the sleepless nights. I’m tired of the lack of support. I’m tired of coughing & wheezing. I’m tired of being confused. I’m tired of being stressed out. I’m tired of feeling alone. I’m tired of feeling helpless. I’m tired of #LongCovid

    Today was a very incredibly hard day for me in the #LongCovid world. I’ve since learned that the Abbotsford Post-Covid Clinic I have just entered, after many unsuccessful months of trying, is now closing due to no funding from the provincial our federal governments. 😳👇

    As I come up to 18 months battling #LongCovid I’ve been hit with the realization that despite all my best efforts, I’m really fighting this battle on my own with very little support.

    ...I can barely keep my eyes open most days, I fall down easily, I’m constantly short of breath, I’m confused, I have a lack of appetite, my personality has changed, I’m depressed, I have chronic lung, heart and brain conditions.... And the worst part - is that it is EPISODIC.

    Being episodic in nature, makes my condition of #LongCovid increasingly challenging to manage my spoons for any given day - nevermind attempting to utilize my brain in ways that I did for 20+ years. I can barely use the bathroom, shower or take a phone call without crashing. 😥

    Today is day #518 of my chronic illness journey with #LongCovid. That’s 17 straight months of suffering with no real prognosis or treatment. 😢 To reiterate: that’s 12,432+ hours of constant chest pains, coughing, brainfog, nausea, extreme fatigue, random swelling, SOB, etc.

    All of this is quite a heavy thing to go through, but when you add in all the gaslighting, arguments, infighting, and ghosting that has occurred since that fateful day in March of 2020, I have been teetering on a breaking point most days.

    On top of my health situation, I’ve been dealing with the return of the Cancer in my beloved cat, Marmalade as well as a recent diagnosis to a dear and close family member (one of the few who’ve stuck by me...) I mention this, to bring attention to World Mental Health Day.
