Hi Everyone
I have been doing CBT for the last 3 weeks and is starting to make some sence why we do some of the things we do.
BUT
I think we all know that we have to slow down and pace ourselfes,
it is not so easy when you have a job and a family to look after.
It as made me realise I am not the person I was no matter how I tell my self I can cope,some days I just can't.
I understand that it is better to rest and not to finish a job but we all put pressure on ourselvies.

Hi Mace223 paceing is very important but I do have days when I over do it, then pay the price for it so frustrating, when you have to admit defeat and give in, I get upset and angry. Jobs are pileing up arnt getting done, I want to steam in and do them but reluctantly holding my self back. Dont want to end up in bed for days and months like I have in the done.certainly agree with us putting pressure on us I do it all the time. Take care x
It is a sad day when you realise you are not the person you were but I guess it is accepting reality. Juggling everything, family plus work can't be easy. I am a big fan of pacing, we have a saying, do a little less but do it well. xxx
Well said Mace, and I totally agree with you. CBT has helped me in the last 9 months and has made me more of a confident person dealing with my Fibro.
Gentle hugs and keep going with your sessions. x
