Spent most of today managing pain, and in noticing that I wasnt able to do much else am reminded that it really is a second job. Feeling very fortunate that this is usually the exception, not the rule, for me. Feeling thankful that so many people in my life understand pain and spoon theory; most of my guilt and shame about not doing enough or being able to do enough is internal, and eased by their understanding and empathy. If theres someone in your life dealing with chronic pain or illness - please try to be understanding on those days that use more than their fair share of spoons. If its you, try to have that care and compassion for yourself. Pushing yourself is sometimes necessary. Running yourself into the ground serves no one and proves only that you are capable of ignoring your bodys needs (right up until you arent).
