This happened to me 10 years ago, I got sick and fought for my life for around 30 days, and after healing I started having side effects - after effects of that illness and I literally couldn’t do anything for like 50 days. I literally haven’t felt depressed at all before that but since then I have depression and some episodes occasionally especially night time before I go to sleep.
I really wonder if anyone experiences the same thing.
I’m sorry that happened to you. I haven’t heard about anyone experiencing this but it makes sense that life altering events can permanently change your brain chemistry.
