Stayed in bed ALL day... feeling pretty disgusted with myself today.

I hate those days. They are very hard. It's tough to get a toe hold, I know this very well.

Try just doing one very small thing for yourself. Make yourself your favorite tea, take a quick shower, watch your favorite video. Just a little something to redeem the time.

Or, sleep! That's my other strategy. Sleep until you can function again.

Sleep is underrated as a healer. Staying in bed is not the worst thing we can do.

I know that feel.

Our body heals when we are sleeping so I hope you are not feeling badly that you need or want to sleep. I have been doing a lot of it due to my insomnia. I have a night of insomnia and then have to sleep almost all day the following morning. I hope you won't feel bad about that. And I hope you stop feeling disgusted with yourself. There is no reason to feel that way!!! Hugs GB
