So this is all just my theory but I’m noticing an increasing trend on Reddit in various mental health communities. I’m frequenting these areas for my own current issues because I can’t afford and don’t trust therapy.
I’m seeing a lot of people saying that their issues started after they developed Covid. Normally I’d blame the vaccine, but I’m not vaccinated (to my knowledge) and never did the tests.
We’re talking anxiety, OCD, and an eating disorder called ARFID. Many people are saying that the either had no or only some issues with these illnesses prior to Covid, or that it had gotten better for a while and then came back because of Covid.
I had “Covid” (I assume, because I lost taste and smell) earlier this year. It went away with no medicine and all was well until a few months later when all of this started for me.
I don’t know what to do with this information but thought it was worth sharing and seeing if anyone here has heard anything about this or knows anyone that had Covid and experienced similar issues later.
Along the same vein, is it normal for a ton of people to suddenly develop sinus issues at this time of year, and I just never noticed?
I read the police scanner / ems calls regularly and people were saying that appts to get mental health assessments leading to the proper meds is 6 months out.
Oh wow, I had no idea it was that bad. Is this locally or nationwide?
Definitely in the northeast. Not sure if it's insurance being terrible and there's some kind of gold plan that would circumvent all this... I think those plans are probably gone.
That's true, but it's because of insurance companies.
You have to get a recommendation from your dr to even see a mental health professional.
And in order to get that recommendation, you will be forced to go for multitudes of tests and if there's nothing else wrong with you, you then go to therapy first so they can analyze you.
Kind of like vetting a candidate.
