Paraphrase the following excerpt from “Why I Wrote ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

I went home and obeyed those directions for some three months, and came so near the borderline of utter mental ruin that I could see over.

Then, using the remnants of intelligence that remained, and helped by a wise friend, I cast the noted specialist's advice to the winds and went to work again--work, the normal life of every human being; work, in which is joy and growth and service, without which one is a pauper and a parasite--ultimately recovering some measure of power.

She or he is saying she obeyed those directions for months and because she or he obeyed those orders, things were becoming bad for him or her but with the advice of a wise friend she went back to work and lived a normal life and because she or he listened to that friend, he or she recovered and even gained some power from the situation because she or he knew sometimes you really do need to obey orders and everything will turn out fine and then there’s times where you have to stand up to that person but that wasn’t one of those times. Sorry if this is wrong...:/
