Breaking the push-crash cycle
I’m working on trying to stop pushing myself too much when I’m feeling good, because if I do I then crash and my Fibromyalgia symptoms flare up and then my mood dips too. I’m learning (slowly) that pacing is definitely the way forward. The problem I have is that when I start to feel better I want to get on with all the stuff I haven’t been able to do and I get over-exited, do too much and end up sore and exhausted. I need to realise that when I’m feeling good/better I need to save some of that energy and then I can more consistently do the things I would like to do.
