I think all your feelings are normal. Life seems strange at first and then there's the boredom and irritability, tiredness....... it's not a smooth ride at first. I tried to keep things as stress-free as possible and just hoped that everyone was right about how much better it would get (and it did- it just takes more time than we want).

One thing I did for the first weeks is try to have something to look forward to, even if it was just a favorite TV show or a big bowl of ice cream. I collected a bunch of motivational quotes and articles and messed around on the computer. Just whatever sounded good at the time.

Glad you hung in there today (I think I was still laying around in bed on day 2!)
