I have not worked since I was admitted in September. At first I could see staying home as I was in no condition to work. I am still in no condition to work but starting to feel really bad. Starting in January I will be getting disability payments and so I won't feel as guilty about money. Most days I am lucky to fold a load of laundry or to run the dishwasher. I hate having no energy. My husband is completely supportive and telling me I am doing important things - going to therapy and group appointments and so it is ok if I don't get a lot of housework done.

Just feeling so much guilt.

it's understandable to feel guilty about all of that. I work, I make a living and even then when I don't get the stuff done I should be I feel guilty, so don't feel so bad about it. it's natural.

Also if your husband is supportive and is acknowledging what you are doing, please rest in that and relax if only a little bit.

We all have times when we are unable to get everything done we need to.

Don't be too hard on yourself! Your husband is right, it's not like you're being lazy, and he knows that. The fact you feel guilty just means you have a BIG heart .

guilt is the worst of all evils...................

let me try this concept with you Tech: Did the sun come up this morning? Is the world still turning? Were any babies sacrificed due to you not cleaning or grocery shopping or whatever else you didn't get done???

Then it didn't matter that much. Please TRY to not feel too guilty The world keeps turning.

You've got a lot on your plate, so it's understandable what you're dealing with.
