Emily remembers how no one, including herself, linked her symptoms to COVID.
Transcript
I felt like I was crazy because I had all of these symptoms that wouldn’t go away and I couldn’t work, no matter how hard I tried and my brain was so foggy. And my physician really didn’t have any – anything to offer, he didn’t know. And everybody at work was like, “Well I’m not sure maybe it’s something else. Maybe you have, you know, maybe you caught something else or maybe it’s just going to take a long time to get over.” And some people said things like, “Maybe you’ve just never been sick before, so you don’t know what it’s like to feel better.” And I was questioning my sanity. “Am I just making this up, am I just depressed?” A lot of people said that, “Are you just depressed?”
