i've had long covid since february 2023. i never got any vaxx. i don't know when i had covid, or why i contracted long covid. it's like a hangover which never went away. the first week, i couldn't think in-depth at all, so i put off my software engineering course for a week until i got better. i never did get better. best way to describe it is feeling like you're in a dreamlike state - nothing feels real, i cannot think normally or in depth. a few months ago, i had horrible fatigue for a bit over a month - just enough energy to go to work, come back home, and go to bed, so 90% of my waking hours were spent at work. my speech is more slurred, and i stutter a lot more. none of this was ever an issue before. for the first time in my life, i actually have anxiety.  long covid seems to be cfs/me caused by covid. my dad and his girlfriend say neither of them feel the same after contracting covid. i'm pretty sure long covid is pretty widespread, just to varying degrees - people post-covid are dumber, more rude, less patient, less aware, more mindless robots.
