Why is it extremely difficult for me to eat a completely healthy diet? I'm addicted to Coca Cola, and at first I thought it was the sugar, so I switched to Zero, but that's kind of addictive too. The question is, why am I so addicted to it? Is it the caffeine? If so, how…
There are many people who say that willpower is all that counts, and you just have to have an iron will and think positively, think that you are guaranteed to achieve everything, and then you will achieve everything.

Do you think that saying that your life was ruined by Long Covid is an excuse? I mean, the symptoms can be extremely debilitating, unfortunately, and my energy levels fluctuate a lot.

The carer in the assisted living facility doesn't understand why I'm always chronically tired and why I don't trust myself to live independently, at least not until this chronic exhaustion, this constant heaviness, is cured.
