holding tightly but getting better...

T pointed out something in session yesterday...
Others probably do it, but I have a tendency to forget that my physical health problems are going to affect my mental health in a variety of ways.
With chronic conditions, some of us develop that attitude of "it's part of life...my life." So I discount the affect of multiple events on my emotional well being.
If it's chronic then ya just do the best you can 'cause crying about it changes nothing, and folks around you tend to roll their eyes...not that they shouldn't! It obviously entails many changes for them, and most of them are difficult.

When the body is busy rebuilding energy and strength from one event after another, it reaches a point when you surrender and say, OS, I give up. And it's not in a bad way, either. It's healthier to admit tiredness and limit or let go of some responsibilities...

When I gave myself "permission" to have fun, there was a message in there...
permission?? why did I think I needed permission anyway?
why did I give it a time limit or activity limit?

Ego.
I Will Not Be Seen As Being A Wimp
so
It became all right for me to crash and burn.

Jmo/jme, but we flit in and out feeling good; don't feel too good or the shoe/boot will fall, the sky will fall, etc..

The older I get? The less I know...dammit

In Peace
