100% ! I definitely suffered from spotlight effect too ... thinking everyone was judging me but ofc no one knows that I had a catheter coming out of my stomach or just gone through kidney failure and starting dialysis over the last 12 months! As the pandemic fades into the past, I'm more comfortable being public spaces but definitely at a year or two delay compared to non-patients!
