For months now I've been trying to work on a schedule for housework, exercise, personal care and classes.
Doing my schedule has been off and on and pretty much depends on depression, energy or pain.
I'm realising that I can't do everything.
I can choose to exercise and do classes. Or housework and personal care. I have things that are extremely hard for me to do.
Yesterday I did two loads of washing. Went out with mum for short trip grocery shopping. Then remade the bed with clean sheets. I had rests in between doing things. Was ok until I made the bed.
Neck in high pain afterwards.
Feeling at a loss. I tried explaining to my support person today. I suggested that I might need home help. Felt like my feelings were invalidated. They Called me out on it like I haven't been trying. Actually said if I did more exercise and less sitting around it would help. To be fair I sit around a bit. But they know I've been wobbly and struggling since the mild concussion. Even typing this is making me upset again. I cried for half an hour after that conversation. It's so hard when no one understands.
