Rest is the Word of the Week

July 17th, 2008

Rest is the word of the week, its something I’m not good at. I have a tendency to over do things and then really pay for it latter. I guess I get a case of thinking I’m “Super Woman or Mighty Mouse”. Its hard living with a chronic illness and understanding what it means to pace myself. I think part of it is enjoying a bit of reprieve. I use to be afraid of the pain, but now it’s a normal part of my life now. The fatigue is not something I think I will ever get used too. I want my energy back so bad sometimes I can almost feel it.

There’s many ways I’ve tried to learn to pace myself and give myself some breaks. I can only do things in small sections. Something one person could do in one day can sometimes take me a week to do. I can’t tolerate my legs hanging down too long or the nerve monsters drive me totally crazy, you get the pictures. Sometimes I have to be reminded to slow down or else. Many times I over do it and then I’m totally exhausted and, feel like I’ve run some kind marathon.

Rest is a definite struggle in my life and it’s something I have no choice, but to do. Many people have different ways of resting. Some people walk a little then have a seat and other times people find the nearest wall to have a rest.

How do you manage your time and allow sometime for a rest- Share your story…
