Total crash out today, after overdoing it on every front yesterday. So, apart from doing most of the dishes (I stopped when I got bored) I've felt useless.

I've not even managed 2000 steps today. My #fibromyalgia downturn in recent months has also left me feeling heavier. I'm not huge or anything, but I also daren't weigh myself.

I'll give myself another week, two max, then try to reduce food again. But energy crashes are still bad, which is a concern.

in more positive news my tonmya prescription arrived today so tonight I will be able to try that out and maybe tomorrow will be less full of pain than usual

A post about someone having a mental #breakdown after another snow dump reminds me of my own versions of mental collapse, which sometimes occurs in successive order and intensity, resulting in heavier and more overpowering weight that eventually makes me scream inside.

As a #disabled #gardener…it is really frustrating when the weight of tools is not listed online when purchasing ⛏️

My best friend is in an abusive relationship with herself.
She keeps dissing, belittling and insulting herself.
She hates herself and the fact that she exists.

She is surrounded by people whom she likes, but she can't extend the same kindness and appreciation to herself.

She suffers of fibromyalgia and depression.
Yes, she goes to a psychologist, no it doesn't help, but I think she's not even bringing up the self-hatred.

How do I even support her when she's abusing herself?

I spent a good few hours cataloguing media, artwork, and paperwork. I need to get everything organised before I start decorating.

More importantly, I need to be happy with furniture placement before decorating, because I need to know where all the artwork is going.

I emptied shelves, moved around furniture, and started putting things away when the life just drained out of me. I felt entirely useless, fed up, defeated. I was doing something nice but my body and brain both said: "Hey, Book. We're not doing this today."

So, I've been in a funk all evening with a mess still in the living room.

I think one of the worst things I find about living with pain is waking up to it in the morning. It's such a horrible start to the day and takes (often a large amount of) mental energy just to get up.
