I am going through the same feelings. I’ve been feeling really self conscious, embarrassed, and depressed. There is so much stigma associated with this infection and it makes it hard.
I’ve been basically taking the time to focus on myself. I’ve been doing pilates and yoga, and trying to drink more water. I find meditation really helps especially at night when I am having difficulty sleeping. I usually just go on YouTube and search for guided meditation for sleep, relaxation or healing!
I made another post about potential natural remedies that people may have tried that they find helpful, so hopefully some people respond.
You also have your sister to talk to, and she has the virus too and has been there, which is kind of nice. I told my sister but all she said was I should have been more careful and I’m too afraid to tell anyone else because I feel like they won’t understand.
