I definitely paid attention to my body , I love it when I feel like doing things in or outside of my house but if I’m having a more painful day I don’t try to push myself but the thing I’ve noticed is that it’s hard for me to make a definite commitment to a friend like going to do something it just makes me to not make any plans , and that makes me sad. Do any of you have that problem ?

Oh, how I can empathize with you. Along with my allergies and extreme senses (Super hearing, smell, taste, touch,and hypervigilance) I also have on any particular day, diabetes, anxiety, depression, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, arthritis.  That's it.  Oh, and asthma.  But with great medical care, medicines that actually work, supplements that help as much as medicines, and mindfulness, I am able to live a rich life.  I have to say no to invitations all the the time.  I must space out my time during the day to include peace and quiet.  Shopping all day is not an option for me. If I don't take care of myself, I won't have anything left to give others.  Since that is what makes me the happiest, I strive to keep it balanced.  It's okay to say no.  And it will get better. You are not alone, and you are worth it.  Remember, it's not a race, it's a journey.  And we are better together.  Until next time, Mamacita
