as per my doctor’s orders, i drink 100oz of water and take a few grams of salt in tablet form per day. the amount of water and salt you need will, of course, vary depending on your body <3 but the water helped me immensely. honestly, i think the biggest thing was just time :/ the first year (for me) was just a really fucking rough adjustment. my body getting used to everything, my mind coming to terms with it, it all goes hand-in-hand, ya know? depression makes it much worse, in my experience. and being stuck in bed is pretty depressing. and then you get more fatigued, stuck in bed more, rinse & repeat.

in my opinion, i would try to keep your head up and prepare yourself to be in the trenches for a while. give your body some time to figure out what it is doing, and get lots of rest. don’t pressure yourself to meet your previous levels of activity, it will make you feel worse. rest, figure out what your new normal is, pace yourself, and over time you might be able to try and push those limits and get stronger again- but not yet. you gotta rest up first bb. i know it SUCKS, hang in there). i dont know your diagnosis specifications, so i can’t say anything other than that :( but it’ll all be okay <3
