Struggling with Fatigue

Absolutely it can be infuriating and the unpredictability for me is exhausting. I just want to be able to trust my body again. I find that it helps to remind myself to compare myself and those with my issues and not entertain comparisons to "normal" people. It also has helped to talk to those around me and find things that I find easier then them and switch tasks. For example I take care of administrative tasks for my sister (taxes, insurance, bills and any other forms) and she comes over at least once a month to take some of the weight off of my shoulders in regards to house work. It has shocked me that some people find the tasks I dread relaxing and even easy and are more than happy to trade off tasks that they hate. It has been a good way to make friends in my disabled community, to go over to someone's house and hang out while helping each other.
