I had a similar experience. I was sick for 4 months at the start and took over a year to recover. Most of my symptoms were mental health related (anxiety, low energy, brain fog, etc). I'm bipolar... so no medical professional is going to take me seriously.
I know myself, my moods, and my body extremely well. Without that, I wouldn't be able to work a full time job even with my existing accommodations.
If something is off, I can usually pin-point it pretty fast. Something was off for a long time.
1. It wasn't medication because that hasn't changed since mid-2019. I'm still on the same meds and dosages. (Minus a single minor adjustment for pre-existing ADHD symptoms.)
2. It wasn't isolation. A few friends and I isolated together. We had plenty of social interaction.
3. It wasn't worry. I've never been concerned about sickness or death for myself, my family, or my friends. They are facts of life. Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die. Live while you got it. :)
4. It wasn't lack of exercise. I did a lot of walking in parks.
By process of elimination, covid is all that stands out. shrug
