Summary
I’m joined by Taylor, a 24 year old woman living in Los Angeles who shares her experience dating with chronic health issues. Taylor’s life was turned upside down 2 years ago in a matter of 24 hours when she started experiencing what she now knows is long-COVID. Taylor opens up about dealing with her loss of identity, struggling to do certain physical activities on dates, having to reschedule dates because she’s not feeling well, and when/how to explain her diagnosis to someone new.
