I mean, my friend has never said, I will leave you alone, because it is your choice. No, he has stated I am living in fear. He uses seatbelts, no doubt. I doubt he puts a radio on the side of his tub. He is eating healthier. It never crossed my mind, to say he is living in fear.
I am glad you made it past Covid, with no ill effects. It is a roulette wheel about whether anyone getting even a mild case, will get long haul. A lot of the effects of Covid also mirror the effects I already feel, having whiplash, a concussion, TBI (traumatic brain injury) severe PTSD and depression, all from being rear-ended. I have double vision, a sensitivity to light, headaches that last over 24 hours, dizziness and unrelenting 24/7 pain. Brain fog is a HUGE thing for me. I even have memory problems, but my therapist says I have three of the top reasons for memory problems. Dont ask me what they are, cause I cant remember. 🤣🤣🤣 I was suicidal for a while, because the pain was that bad. Legal edibles helped me. I went off of them once, and my therapist told me the pain was too much and I needed to resume the edibles. I could not deal with long haul, on top of everything I am already experiencing. I told several people, and now you (and, yes, my friend I quoted above) that if I were to get long haul, I would simply kill myself. It would just sink me. If there was a way to tell if you will get long haul, and I was not suffering as I am, I might just go out without a mask. Nah! I would always respect others and not pass anything on to someone who might die.
