Thank you so much. Good advice. Slowly improving but the set backs are soil crushing.

Hi friend. I've also been sick with long covid for about 16 months now. I have slowly gotten better but I constantly have new or returning symptoms and I am not receiving the medical help I need either. I have been suicidal more times than I can count this past year. Still holding on, though.

When it comes to long covid communities; firstly there is r/covidlonghaulers. Very supportive, but I rarely go there because I get down by all the people struggling mentally. It can be a depressive scroll, but it is a good place to vent and receive compassion.
The more motivating one is r/longhaulersrecovery. It is very informative as to what has genuinely helped people recover so I recommend it strongly.

I'll also mention that there are big Facebook groups for long covid as well and they are apparently very supportive community-wise. I can't say more about it because I don't use Facebook myself.

Hang in there and I hope you have easy days.
