Dealing with Guilt and Burnout Due to Chronic Illness

how do y'all process when guilt over not being able to do as much as you used to starts to flare up? or being in a place health wise and burnout wise that it is not healthy for you to work or help out that you start to feel like a burden, especially when times are tight? I have an amazingly supportive spouse but these feelings just get really big, and when physical pain is keeping me up multiple nights in a row after being practically bedridden for over a month, I just wish I knew some tips to help process all of that 😅 (I do typically have to talk or write out things to process them as I have low internal emotional processing). Maybe I just need some fellow similar folks to be able to talk to, and check-in with, and commiserate and such?? I'm not sure but am open to that and any other suggestions!
