Hi,
Hope you are feeling better. Similar circumstances have led me to have to stay at home for 6 months and your are right, it is hard. I have tried to accommodate my feelings and have a little mantra I remind myself of. " This is your reality. You are here because you have made choices int he past that have brought you here. You can't chang e the now or how you feel but you can forget the illusions of how you think or hope things should have been and focus on the immediate - this will then become your reality - so how do you wnat to feel in 15 mins an hour or a days time?" This may then stimulate me to do things like colour my roots! cook a cake, go for a swim, dog for a walk, write someone a nice note and walk to the post office to post it (1/2hr). Sometimes it is ok to stop but good to plan the ne minutes hours days and change your reality that way. Re thyroid my Mum had hers iodized out years ago, she is now 78 looks after my disbled Parkinson Dad drives a car very well, goes rambling when she can and is likened by my friends to the duracell bunny!. It does take the mind to get you going or not.. I have hypothyroidism and find that if I am interested or needed to do things I am better than when left to my own devices.
