Thank you bitomato what a great reply, thank you a lot.
I've still got 20 days of sick leave in which to keep up my recovery so I don't rush back into things. I didn't think about waves (even though I titled this!) like that until you said it, but I guess it's like with mindfulness for anxiety you just have to ride the waves and the intensity passes, like Sarah said above.
It would be foolish to think I'm recovered but there is definitely more mental clarity creeping in. Like the fog and lethargy that made it so disabiling (you're right about that, it's never caused me "disability" so profoundly before now) have eased.
I am making sure to pace myself and have quiet moments too.
