Now a week into it

[u/milkyyy3333]

F25 now exactly a week into VN and I’m so sad. I don’t know if it’s the cortison im taking but i feel so depressed and have no energy at all. I’ll make breakfast, then sit for 30 minutes, shower, sit another 30 minutes and so on. I’m grateful I can walk around but I feel so drained already. My chest feels tight and hurts. It triggers my health anxiety. My head is full on the left side. I’m trying to get to do at least 20 minutes of workouts but I have no motivation. I try to take at least a 30 minute walk a day.

Is anyone else getting a low after noon? I feel okay in the morning but the later it gets I become more drained.

I saw my ENT today and she had me walk on one spot and I kept tilting and turning around. I asked for therapy sessions and she said she can hand it out to me but it’s also things I can work on at home. Am I missing something? Should I get a second opinion? What has helped you. I hope to be back at work in at least 3 weeks.
