So I've been ill two and a half years now, and on the whole I've had a fairly steady baseline. I've had crashes, but by stopping and resting they normally resolve and I can get back to baseline pretty quick.
This time it feels different. I crashed after having a virus along with some stressful events. After struggling for a couple of weeks I took some time off last week, went back to work for one morning, then immediately crashed again the next day. So this week I've taken the full week off to try to recover.
What do people think is the best way to deal with a relapse? Should I just rest rest rest? Or should I try to build my activity levels back up gradually?
I'm feeling quite anxious, I don't want to get this wrong.
