Venting Covid has me suicidal.

[Titania]

I went to the hospital and I just got tested positive for COVID. The symptoms suck and eating now makes me depressed because I can't taste anything. Wondering if I'm going to just die from COVID or my suicidal urges will kill me first.

I had covid. Your senses of smell and taste will come back in a month or two. You're not going to die from it. Probably 80% of the world has or has had this disease.

Otoh, if you want to die and you start having difficulty breathing, don't go to the hospital. Maybe you will...

You probably won't die, but there's the possibility.

Most people recover the sense of smell in a bit, like op said above.
People that took long to recover were the ones admitted to hospital and intubated.
Even so, cases were rare.

Might sound like a desperate attempt, but I guess in the back of my mind, I was wishing. I'm still hoping to CTB even if it goes away.

I'm sorry you are suffering, the symptoms you are experiencing sound really unpleasant. I think how likely it would be to die from covid would depend on various factors, such as overall health and age, but as the others said it is unlikely. I wish you well.
