Hi @Estherch, this was how it was for me too and I struggled with not having as much energy as I normally did!! But I found getting out and walking each morning helped (sort of like I had achieved something as crazy as it sounds).

I got into a cycle of what I could do and expect after the first session.

Be kind to yourself and take one day at a time
