Adjusting to the new normal

I was diagnosed in December of 2022 after a flare left me suddenly unable to walk for a week. Since then I've been recovering and taking it pretty easy when it comes to doing regular people things. But I'm moving to a new city next week to go back to school (A decision I made when it became clear I would not be able to follow the path I had been pursuing), and today was the first day I felt able to really accomplish some tasks. I had a lot to do to get ready for moving day so I pushed myself pretty hard. I felt pretty good all day and felt pretty accomplished for achieving what would have used to have been a pretty standard busy day. Suddenly on my drive home, I was just wiped out. When I got home I just couldn't even think. Thankfully some decompression techniques and a shower helped me find my center but wow what a sudden change. I guess I'm just not used to these new limits yet. It's difficult not knowing what is "too far". I'm a thirty year old man who used to be pretty good at taking care of what needs to be taken care of but now everything I do is just exhausting. This new life is hard to compensate for. Any tips on living as normally as possible and making the most out of good days without over doing it would be appreciated. I'm not the kind of person to allow myself to become dependent or give up, but I don't know yet how to find my line.
