My (29F) family didnt believe I had COVID because my Mother(62F) convinced them I wasnt sick. Now i have heart nd lungs damage.

So, very long and painful story short, I had Covid beginning on the year and it was the must devastating physical thing thats ever happened to me. I had all the signs and syntomps of Covid, i had fever, headache, throat ripping cough, diarrhea, i threw up so violently i was shaking in the toilet, dizzines, lost 7 kilos in 2 weeks, developed dificulty breathing, was short of breath, had a lot of pain in my chest and my back, i just couldnt breathe and felt so desperate and vulnerable and helpless. I needed to hold myself on the walls to go to the bathroom because I felt so weak and my legs would give in if standing for long. It was truly horrible.

During this time my whole family was present and they just...stood there watching me get worse by the day. My mother convinced everyone it was just a throat infection and my syntomps werent so severe. Id tell them i felt sick and it might be Covid and they would just laugh at me and say "thats what happens when youve been healthy your whole life, you get a cold and you think you are dying 😄😆"

I have always been the care taker of my family and in times of need im always the one to nurse and watch over everyone when needed. It turns out, it WAS covid, and now months later my heart and my lungs still havent recovered and my trust for my family is broken. My mom says to "get over it/its in the past/ you need to change your attitude" but i still feel it to this day and I dont know if Id ever forgive them for the way they behaved towards me in my lowest point. If i had gone to a serious doctor, i d have been prescribed an oxigen tank for support. Thats how serious ill I was.

Should i just move on? forget it ever happened? Thanks for reading, i just want to vent to anyone who would listen.

TL;DR: my family didnt believe when i told them i couldnt breathe and felt weak. Turns out it was covid and now want to rugsweep their behaviour.
