I've been "on vacation" for two months now. I have been sitting around and doing nothing. It's been amazing, and I feel like a completely different person.
A lot of the "old me" is returning. I am less affected by stimuli, my personality is returning, I can think more clearly, I am more articulate, and life is not as overwhelming - to list a few examples. My concern is - I still have no impetus to get anything accomplished. This didn't concern me when my other symptoms were in full force. However, now that they are lessening, shouldn't this symptom lesson as well? Did I somehow develop laziness as part of my character while I was sitting around doing nothing? Am I using PCS as a crutch to not have to do anything? Why is it still so difficult for me to accomplish anything - even if it's simple and even if it really needs to get done? Any takes on this?
