Managing stress can help ease fatigue. To keep it in check:
- Adjust your expectations. If you have a list of 10 things to do today, cut it to two and leave the rest for later.
- Help others understand and support you. Family and friends can help if they can put themselves in your shoes.
- Use relaxation techniques like deep breathing or visualization.
- Do things that divert your attention from fatigue, like reading, knitting, or listening to music.
- Talk to your doctors. They’re there to help.
