I caught covid a couple weeks ago and it’s been draining physically as expected but also mentally. Starting week 3 now of not really being able to do anything except walk around the block. Bad habits creeping in. I feel like crap. Spending way too much time on youtube/social media.

I remember in the past that when I started to recover from an illness I’d get a boost of motivation, but I hadn’t noticed that I was actually feeling depressed.

I think part of it was feeling weak and not being able to counter intrusive thoughts. All the stress of regular life sort of piled on in and I had no defence against it.
