I am going to Walgreens today to run a Covid-19 antigen test.
How come home kit that USPS sent me had a line on T right away after pouring 3 drops
? Google says they are fairly accurate.
If it's positive, then what? It means you have a cold. The original Wuhan strain is long gone, mutated into a relatively harmless cold virus. By your own account, your fever is already gone.
Stay home. Watch a funny movie, play some video games, eat some chicken soup.

The test can be positive for many weeks or months in some cases. Means nothing to keep testing yourself.
Although it is not "a cold" or "the flu" - for otherwise healthy folks, and with today's less serious strains - it will run its course and be gone. Post back in a week and give an update.
If you want to do something - try to avoid spreading it to other people, because no one enjoys being sick, serious or not.
No issues with breathing. I can monitor my pulse. I thought the EUA med is suppose to stop replicating the virus?
The big issue with Covid is the breathing issue. If you are breathing fine then you dodged the worst of it.
Another big one is extreme fatigue.
Otherwise the brain fog and other irritating aspects are not as severe (imho and I'm sure others agree).
It will be a long time before all the implications of the vaccines and the disease are understood. So, fretting about it is pointless. I also have to stay up to date with the vaccines and assume the couple times I have had it I was better off by having the vaccine onboard.

Why? You have symptoms and have tested positive already.
Don’t sweat it. I had mild symptoms for three days only in October of 2022,
yet tested positive at home for 3 weeks.
At your age and health status I see no reason to be concerned about this infection.
As others have said, with all your vaccine doses on board and your otherwise good physical health, you will likely be fine. My anxiety shot through the roof with Covid to the point that I wondered if it was an effect of the virus, but fortunately, once I was well again, the anxiety abated. The combination of this plus OCD has got to be miserable. I'd focus on whatever coping skills you've been taught in therapy for your anxiety and OCD. This will all end, and probably soon. I'm sorry you're dealing with this.
Impressive feat, holding out for four years before finally contracting Covid. You seem to be fretting a bit more than necessary, but then, you did say you have OCD/anxiety. Get well soon; hopefully staying home doesn't bore you as much as it bores me
