Hi Rachel,

I felt so useless the past few days when I couldn't help my husband when he tore the house apart organizing and cleaning out the garage. He didn't really expect help, but I tried to help him get things in when it started raining and couldn't. He is understanding overall. His sister doesn't get me at all. We don't live close, thank goodness. Mostly its frustrating to me to be so limited. I try and ignore it and push past it, but when it's bad, I can't. I do better if I get some exercise, but its a very delicate balancing act. If I take it too fast it can throw me off for weeks. It can be depressing. Which then feeds into the whole cycle. It really is hard to understand if you haven't experienced it. I usually don't even think about it, but we've had a lot of stress lately and it has about laid me flat at times.
