Hi Lisa - I'm sorry to hear how fatigued you are, and how frustrating the situation has become. I can understand why the energy drain is so hard to describe as it's something you haven't experienced before, and that none of us is really prepared to handle. As you said, it's one day at a time right now.
Perhaps it would help to whittle down your "to do" list and try to savor all of the accomplishments you're making right now. Do you have a support system such that you could ask others to help with some of the tasks? If friends know what will help you out, they're more likely to be there for you, and there's no reason not to ask. If you need to develop a support system, or find some resources, let us know so we can do the research for you.
Thanks so much for writing. I know it took a lot of your energy to do that, and it's going to help others. We wish you only the best.
Take good care,
Pat
