If you have been fatigued for a long time, not only may you have given up doing many things, such as working and socialising, but other people may have taken over some of your previous responsibilities, for example, shopping, cooking, paying bills, household repairs. If this is the case, you may decide that resuming some of these activities would be a positive step. Remember to take things gradually and, if necessary, to break them down into manageable steps and, of course, ask for help.
