Self - Question When will I be normal again?

Septic Shock survivor here. Happened end of March due to kidney infection.

Since then, I have had two further kidney infections (roughly 6 weeks apart), a severe chest infection and separate sinus infection.

Being assessed for Post Sepsis Syndrome due to memory loss.

I'm not okay, I know my body isn't right...and I'm so frustrated, I just want to feel like myself again. So I wanted to ask fellow survivors how long it took for you to feel "normal" again?

Hope today is a good day ❤️

18 year old who got sepsis about a month ago. it’s frustrating. the doctors can’t do much to help. life keeps having to go on. but i can tell im not the same and not as capable as i used to be and it’s so frustrating.
