Dena,
Covid-19 has certainly caused a lot of grief for a lot of people. Obviously you are feeling the pain. I also am a long-timer - dx in 2001. I have been very fortunate (until Covid-19) to have had a slow progression. I attribute it to a PD exercise program called Rock Steady Boxing. There maybe one in your area. Regardless, it's good to 'vent'.
Are there any support groups or PD-focused exercise programs in your area? What type of doctor do you see - general practitioner (GP), neurologist, movement disorder specialist (MDS)? Are you working with your doc to resolve medication-related issues, i.e.,hallucinations
And what about an anti-depressant? The right anti-depressant can make a huge improvement in your outlook on life.
