Needs to be said
It's been 3 years that I have not been able to work (or drive, so far) and at the beginning I was not adjusting well to the "new me" and frustrated that I was always exhausted. That word should scream: EXHAUSTED! It took me a while to realize this...
I have an invisible illness, a chronic illness. That means I cannot see or feel how hard my body is working on the inside to do the basic functions like, breath (important), pump oxygen to all my cells (important), metabolize (important), communicate (important). No wonder I am so tired. I am working extremely hard to do what I was taking for granted.
I gave myself permission to rest.
