Thank you Sharon and Maud for responding to my question. Its a relief to know this is normal. My husband and children (ages 16, 15, and 12) think that I should be back to normal because my treament is over. They don't seem to understand that I still need help and can't do all the things that I was able to do before. My mother thinks I'm tired because I'm depressed. I'm not. She's always telling me to go out with my friends, that it will make me feel better. I just can't seem to make her understand that I just don't have the energy! Maybe showing them your replies will help. Thanks again
