Stress builds up slowly     

Even if your exhaustion has been brought on by a bout of illness, the lead-up to the illness has come over time as your stress levels mounted. Getting to such a severe state of debilitated exhaustion has been a slow process – and so healing will be a slow process too. Be kind and gentle with yourself… and …
