Hi everyone, I had the Covid-19 in February 2020. I took it hard with a high temperature. One week after I get better, I feel something was happening in my head. (I want to add that, I never had a mental disorder before. I sport and eat healthy, and all was fine. ) I spoked with my family, and asked the question "Can something go wrong with my brain due to the illness?". They say No, of course. But I felt something is wrong, and I start to have a panic attacks. I can't go any more to the U-Bahn (metro), and big shops & malls, I can't even stay with other people in a room, cuz I felt anxiety and had a bad thoughts. I talking with a therapist for 3 months now, but I I have only a temporary improvement. I don't drink any pills yet. My life changed so much after this, I am scared if I get crazy. I want my life to be as it was before. I will appreciate every advice. Thank you.

covid most likely did not hurt your brain. It sounds like you may be developing anxiety and panic just from the fear and negative thoughts in your mind. last year was a very difficult year and many people got anxiety and panic over this. you are not crazy. You have anxiety which is very common in millions of people have it all over the world.
It’s no different than having diabetes, a heart condition, high blood pressure etc. It’s a health condition just like those are.
you just need help in learning how to manage the anxiety so it doesn’t run your life. It’s nothing to be ashamed of and it’s not your fault.
stay in therapy for as long as you can. it’s good support for you right now. You’ll be OK.
