I was definitely a type A Leo, to the extreme. Worked two, sometime three jobs..never stopped...til the fall and pcs.
I consider it a lesson learned. I needed to slow down. This has forced me to slow down. One of my primary jobs now is caring for my aged blind cat.
I also believe that one of the reasons why I am recovering so slowly is that I didn't want to rest enough the first few months. So you newbies that are reading this REST!
I agree with one of the posters above. If I am feeling symptoms, I rest. Who cares if things don,t "get done". The healing of my brain is the most important thing that needs to get done! So the floors are not vacuumed. Who cares? It used to drive me crazy. Now I let go.
I did buy a day planner than was easy to look at where I could write large enough so I could read it but the line were light enough not to drive me crazy. I got a headache just picking one out. I write things down that I NEED to do.
