Intuitive Tracy Roy🇨🇦 :
For TBI people, regular life costs 10x more energy as well. It's very frustrating and disheartening. I know from the moment I wake up in the morning, I have 5hrs before neurofatigue sets in. I find myself rushing to get ready, to get to my destination because I know I'll crash soon. If I push it then I'll get insomnia from overstimulation and then I'll have no energy the next day.
All this to say, I understand the fatigue and energy depletion.
Look up Spoonies, we're people who understand energy depletion. Spooning are people who suffer with chronic diseases, illness and injury. (I.e. fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, TBI)
You'll learn you can't do it all anymore. :( Pick one thing (shopping, out to dinner, exercising,etc.) and do it, that's all. Sometimes that one thing costs me 2-3 days of energy, unfortunately it's the sober reality for many. I'm not saying it's alright, I'm just saying it's how we have to live. 😞
