Sometimes you just need a rest day
To let your body and mind heal
From all the stress you’ve put on it
From overdoing it and making it worse
Those who don’t suffer don’t understand
That when I say I did nothing
I mean I was resting
I was trying to feel better
They think I was just relaxing
Drinking and watching TV
‘Sounds like you had a great time
Is what they reply
But in reality if I don’t rest
The pain spirals out of control
If I carry on I won’t be able to do anything at all
I am forced to rest so I can live tomorrow
When they see me out and about
In only there because I paced myself
I rested when my body told me to
So that I could survive another day
Hello Fibro Blog 
So much easier once you get your head around the fact that you’re not being lazy, you’re doing exactly what you should be doing. Great post!💕

Couldn’t agree more. Doing this blog is helping me come to terms with these kinds of things and hearing it from someone else is reassuring. Really appreciate it!
