Her experience isn't typical and also this should be about long COVID and ME CFS really this is not relevant to many people's issues with fatigue and the disease or virus is not the issue the pathways and healing are what people want to know. This is so long-winded. Also believing family members are going to die when they leave the house is a psychiatric or psychological issue, such disclosure is unnecessary.
