Still surprised how much emotions fluctuate with PCS
After 18 months I'm still caught off guard when the blues hit. I have my strategies I use to stay out of the doldrums but still end up there eventually.
Trying to figure out a concise formula for not over doing does not exist for me. Too much one day could work another. Brain fatigue can hit during activities or be very stealth like and slam me later after I think I've done okay.
This formula eludes me and prevents a rhythm to my days. Accepting this has not happened for me yet.
