I tested positive for the virus today. I was really sick with symptoms yesterday. I feel better today. I’ve already lost weight. My eating disorder thoughts are happy.
Hi Blue44. We’re sorry to hear you tested positive and have been sick, and are glad you’re feeling a little better. Just wanted to send a message of support for you during this time. We encourage you to be in touch with medical providers as needed and to reach out for support from family, friends, and NEDA if you need (Helpline number: 800-931-2237, or text “NEDA” to 741-741 if you feel you are in crisis.) Please feel free to continue posting about how you’re doing on the forum. You matter and your recovery matters and we truly hope you feel better soon.
I’m still feeling very fatigued from COVID. I am fortunate to be doing as well as I am so I am thankful. It’s still very hard to eat. My appetite isn’t fully back yet. I hope to be able to start my new job next Tuesday.
out of curiosity, aren't you supposed to be in quarantine for 2 weeks and have a doctor's note if you test positive? I would highly suggest following this suggestion, especially if you're going to be around children and other people. How will you know if you don't have it anymore by then? I'm just concerned. Please don't rush to get better. im sorry you're not feeling well.
I am quarantined for ten days. I have a doctor note saying such. I will be sure that I am not contagious before starting work. Thanks for your concern.
I was probably being too optimistic thinking that I would go to work next Tuesday. I haven’t felt well this afternoon. It’s hard having both COVID and an eating disorder.
I’m doing much better after having COVID but I’m still very fatigued. I hope that I can get my energy back soon. My appetite is not very good either. I feel like my taste buds have changed. I know loss of taste is a symptom of COVID. I’m having to force myself to eat. That’s hard to do when the eating disorder thoughts are happier when I skip meals. I’m supposed to start my new job Monday. I hope I get my energy back by then.

I appreciate the support. I am feeling weak and fatigued and have a cough but I’m thankful because it could be much worse.

I'm sorry things are so difficult. Please keep me posted. I'm glad you're taking care of yourself.
