Any ideas to get through those days that are less than successful?
Is it best to not try? |

Is it best to not try? That's a good question. Yes, on the whole I'd say it's kinder on ourselves not to try. Some part of us must be in pain, and if that part were a child, we wouldn't force it |

Today I had something planned.But the morning started with a person texting me and blaming me for something I am not responsible.I wanted to continue with my own schedule so that my day has some .meaning.But wanted to defend myself so bad that I replied back.I got dragged into the mud again.I defended myself more ,explained more to no avail.There were barrage of texts coming fast at me paragraph and paragraphs kept coming.By afternoon I realised it was a trap to re enter into my life as I have minimized contact with some people so that I can stay sane.I stopped replying to their blame.They got angry at my silence.Half of the day is already spent wasteful.So I ignored their anger and went out and did some shopping.Hmmm felt good.And I learned my lesson.Never engage with these kinds of people via texts.

It sounds like you were goaded into contact and have done the right thing. I unfortunately bit when goaded recently and had to remove myself after realising my error too. Hugs and respect |

I know that Thirty shades does try. I think she is expressing her pain and exhaustion.

I'm not judging her. I'm simply saying I wish I had the option to not try. I gave that up when I went back to work. I think that's why the whole time I was on disability people were saying work was good for you. I know I'm exhausted from working however it beats the alternative.

If I'm not totally overwhelmed, I attempt to maintain whatever bits of my usual routine I can -- meals, reading, cleaning, sleep, etc. Yes, there are times when I'm unable to do anything, and other times when I mindlessly go from this to that.
