How I beat COVID-19 Anxiety (+what getting COVID taught me)
Earlier this year, I got infected with COVID-19. It made me realize that the way I think about strength is flawed.
Here's what I struggled with the most when I had COVID (hint: shame), how I actually beat COVID-19 anxiety, and the baseline optimism-boosting activities that apparently hold my life together.

⚠️ DISCLAIMER: According to a report published late last year in The Lancet, using data from 9 million people, 62354 of whom had a COVID-19 diagnosis, researchers found that 18% of Coronavirus patients developed mental health issues (anxiety, depression, etc.) within three months of diagnosis.
I take my research seriously and I try to be as informative as possible.

If you have or suspect that you have a mental health issue, please reach out to a licensed therapist.
