Hi
Ever since you had covid in April 2021 you have been feeling stressed. You forget things and you have mood swings. You feel your concentration levels are low. I understand testing positive for COVID can be stressful and going through the quarantine period can be stressful as well. To feel better you can consult a psychologist and explain about your symptoms and how you feel. If you feel you have extreme mood swings you can consult a psychiatrist as well. Do not worry with the right kind of help you will feel better.

Worries and anxiety about COVID-19 and its impact can be overwhelming. Social distancing makes it even more challenging. Anxiety is generally characterized by worry, brooding, fear of getting infected or infecting others and can be manifested by nervousness, being jittery, having tremors and palpitations, chest discomfort, and breathing problems.
In extreme cases, people may suffer from depression characterized by low mood, tiredness, pessimism, poor sleep, and appetite, feeling helpless, guilty, and hopeless, with a gradual reduction in work output.
Most of the COVID-19 patients are asymptomatic, the majority have mild problems and get improved. Unnecessary panic must be avoided. One must be looked at the current scenario in a positive manner by thinking that chances of getting an infection are very very low and simple steps like wearing masks, social distancing, and hand washing is enough to prevent infection. Be alert but don’t panic.
Next Steps
You may have Post covid stress, if you feel upset or other symptoms contact mental health professionals like psychologists or psychiatrists. Being aware, accepting, and having the insight that one has psychological problems is the first step and must for therapy. Talking with a professional, maintaining routine and healthy lifestyle, taking a healthy diet, avoiding taking of tobacco and drugs, participating in creative activities like music, singing, writing, painting, dancing are helpful in coping with anxiety. If one is very vulnerable and upset, restriction, or stopping access to electronic media, the news is useful. The information must be gathered from credible sources.
