That's a rough one. I got fibro after having mononucleosis in college and spent a long time feeling similar. I think the best thing you can do in this situation is set up small habits to take care of yourself and to explicitly just be kind to yourself. Meditate, take a long bath, take a walk outside, study a topic that interests you, anything that you think you can do on a three-day-a-week to daily basis. Make it just for you. For me, it started as doing five minutes of DuoLingo a day. Having something little like that helps make your life feel a little more purposeful and a little more under your control. Best of luck to you in working your way through this. ❤️

I am sorry to hear about your accident. In the same boat with ya. I try to take it day by day instead of looking at EVERYTHING that needs done as a whole. Other than that, I pray we both find answers.
