I wish I had an answer but truth is I don't.
I just want to support you. you are such a supportive presence here I can only imagine how you uplift you family when you are well!
I try and fake it for the kids but that's not always possible.
like even if I was dead in bed all day staring at a wall, right before they came home from school I would crank music and start to bake something for them.
sigh I don't suggest faking it either. that's not fair to you.
i just hope this episode goes away for you
