I stopped all volunteer activities, took a 6 week medical leave and then returned part time, I used weekends to recover, not to go out. I avoided stimulation whenever I could. My husband took over all shopping, I stopped going to movies and watching TV. I stopped going as often to visit my mother. I sent my kids to a sleep away camp. I stayed home when my family went to visit relatives for Thanksgiving. I sat on the couch and let my house get dirty. I took all offers of help.


I hope some of this is helpful!
