    I physically can't fucking leave because I started renting a third floor apartment when I was still able to move pretty well with long covid, and now I'm way worse and there's no elevator lol. Those stairs will wipe me out for days so yeah, I haven't left in maybe a year or two now. Maintaining the ability to walk to the toilet is higher on my priority list

      i feel that, idk if its long covid or depression but I got a bit of that fatigue too but not as bad just tired all the time. worse than that though is the brain fog, feels like my brain just soft resets if I think too hard, and I cant form long term memories very well.

        My brain is like that too. "Soft resets" is a good way to put it, it's like all my thoughts just drop and I have to wait 15 seconds for everything to unscramble before I can start thinking again. Please be gentle with yourself - I wish I was at the beginning. If you ever end up developing the variety of long covid I have (ME/CFS) you can actually make yourself much worse by pushing through fatigue, as the exertion causes more of your cells to shift into a damaged state. And it's hard to notice at first because you will just feel generically tired/flu-ish/physically sore like 24-72 hours after pushing yourself.

      Your mobility is affected by long covid?

        Yeah, it's not unheard of. Physics Girl has been completely immobilized and her story's decently public if you're cool with watching Smarter Every Day's video on it.
