So....I am a mother of two and married. I suffer from anxiety and depression and have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. My husband is disabled with a TBI. Things have been very hard since I have been sick. Now my husband is very high functioning with his disability and is used to being taken care of. He loves me alot and does all that he can. The RA cause me alot of pain and fatigue so although I am used to being the caregiver, now I need help. But why do I feel so guilty about not being able to do things like before? Does anyone else suffer from an illness that makes it hard to be a mom and or wife?
I have chronic fatigue syndrome and had chronic mononucleosis. Both cause my body to ache and me to want/need to spend a day or two at a time in bed. This issue with CFS is there aren't tests for it and I look completely fine.
