COVID is no longer a fatal virus for many of us. Catching COVID is like catching the flu but with additional impact. Besides physical pain and discomfort, another challenge COVID brought is how it affects us inside.
My family and I experienced various levels of sadness, anxiety, hopelessness, and depression while we were sick with COVID to a level that we had never experienced before. Not helpful at all.
As the virus goes around, it might be helpful to know that, for some people, it affects how we feel. If you experience the same, please know that you are not alone in feeling this way, and you can overcome it by changing these negative feelings even when it seems impossible.
Our feelings matter because they shape our experiences with life.
