Hi Stacey, it's me again. I seem to be the only one coming here. What you are feeling is completely normal! Sooooo many people feel as you do. It's a common problem - you look fine, but it's really a case of "don't judge a book by its cover"! People can't see that the brain is hurt, so can't quite grasp that we may be struggling. Plus there is the emotional component - facing your mortality can be really confronting! Be gentle and kind to yourself - your brain will heal in its own time, and it seems that the more you try to force and hurry up the healing process all you seem to do is tire the body and the brain out and can even set back recovery if you push too hard.
Fatigue is a normal and very common part of this annie journey - people have been poking around up there in your head - that's not supposed to happen, and the brain takes some time to recover from that. It's still early days, it will get better in time - remember, little baby steps.
I'm sorry, this is really just a variation of what I said to you in the other thread.

Hugs to you,

Nat xx
