My advise is take on new activities slowly. Start with one thing and then give yourself a rest day (or a few rest days if needed) then try a different activity, then rest...even if you feel fine rest at least the next day. I wish I had taken my own advise!! i took on a huge project and have now been recovering for about 2 months. (I'm over 2 years in) i feel like I will never get my life back again.

I think it's very important to not feel like you are just existing and not living but watch it because it can sneak up on you and a huge setback like mine is devastating. I am hoping to start adding activities back to my life in another month or so.

I tried to go to my friends house on Saturday but her 3 children were too much for me and i only stayed an hour. I'm back to just existing...I just can't handle anything more than work (which is also too demanding but I'm a single mom and have no choice.)

Best of luck to you! Let us know how it goes!
