What does it feel like?

I would say I noticed a life change at about 30% (I was about 17 yrs old I think). I am currently in the 22%-17% range. And I just quit my job in July (I had been working full time). I need more sleep. Showering is exhausting. Some days are just "bad days" and I don't get much done. I ache a lot. Like Linsey's analogies I tell people to try to breathe through a straw. It's okay for a few breaths but after a minute or two you want to take a "real" breath. Still, I live on my own..but I have a wonderful Mom who helps me with carrying groceries and laundry up to my apt. etc. Cleaning my apt. can take a day or two because cleaning the bathroom wipes me out for the day and vacuuming is tiring too. I guess my overwhelming complaint is fatigue. Well, fatigue and achiness.

And I don't think it's a morbid question <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> And even if it was...what better place to ask a morbid question?
