International Long Covid Awareness Day- 15th March 2025
In recognition of International Long Covid Day on March 15th, here are some quotes from members of our peer support group:
I lost my identity. Long Covid stopped me from living my life. My body hurts, but no-one can see it. Joining the Council Wellness Service LCG joined me to people who understood what I was saying. They helped me to make plans to live again. The group are all kind and inspiring. I am now back to working full time directly because of this group. Life is still hard, but I am managing it.
Since I have joined Long Covid Group – I have felt understood, given ideas on how to cope, built friendships – feel less isolated, given information and have ideas about other groups.
Long Covid isolated me , I felt invisible! The group helped me find my place in the world.
I have made new friends, I’m not alone it’s given me a reason to get out, brought happiness, confidence, new skills and hope!
The group has given us someone and people to talk to who have things in common.
