Sometimes it's comforting to know we are not alone even if I never meet any of you it makes a difference.
DeWitt, in my opinion you should rest as much as your brain asks for. Using my phone is the easiest for my brain now but before even that was hard. Find a hobby that doesn't ignite your symptoms. Be good to yourself and give yourself a break on the guilt. I can imagine anyone wanting this life. It happens. If it was your wife would you still love her and be there? It's time to take care of you!
Marina- I hear you. I do 80% or more less daily since my injury. I'm working on accepting this new me and making a new life. It's hard but I take it one day at a time. Some days are easier than others.
Peace and wellness,
Jace
