Catchi,
I agree w u. It 100% s*cks. Not only does it take us out of everything but I am so scared. (I keep getting bad headaches and smelling weird things which makes me think it is eating at my brain and that I will totally lose my mind or just die.)
I'm also an athlete like u. It has hugely affected me, even tho I try to always act like I feel fine and because I have to pretend in public for work ppl come up to me for advice or to ask how I get so much energy. Most don't realize I am faking it, or that I am usually in immense pain.
But I am wondering, is there any way you can get out to do whatever sport u do in public? Maybe find a way to FORCE yourself? Of course sometimes u r probably so sick you can't get out of bed. (For me months and months of antibiotics helped w that hugely.I still have some days I can't get up, but they are just a day or two in a row, not weeks)
Well, I don't feel like I am being that helpful, but I am just wondering if you can find some sport related thing you HAVE to do. I have that and it helps. I HAVE to do certain athletic things no matter how sick I feel (if I want to have money for food and rent), and it keeps me having at least a BIT of contact w real life. Maybe u could get on a team or a competition for the sport you do. Sorry if that is not helpful. But sincerely, I feel what you are saying. It really s*cks.  |
