hey ya'll..beggarseam here. newbie..up late...busy mind keeping me up. I was DX'd in 2005 after ruling out everything under the sun. so I'm trying to get some help with figuring out the changes I need to make in my life to accomodate the illness, but not so much that I loss my spark for life and joy. I'm already on SSDI for bipolar, but I am..what I consider pretty active anyway. Or at least in my own way. I don't drive(except my hubby... nuts) but I'm in two clubs and I do the church thing.
so that is me.

I really gotta stop saying yes to everything. that's first on my list of TO DOs/

BGS:)

I have the YES problem too lol After getting super stressed out to the point that I had a manic episode two weeks ago, I have decided to start saying NO when appropriate. There's no sense in driving ourselves crazy to please others.

Welcome to the group! If you ever need to chat I am definitely here for you! *hugs*

Hi, good to meet you. For every yes there has to be a no with fibro...the no is the result of saying yes and is necessary to recover from the yes. No's can be fun too, if you like tv and chocolate and have friends to chat to like us, but keep saying yes too cause yes's make you feel alive!.....It made sense when i wrote it!
Hugs from England! x

Welcome - great place to be if you have fibro.

Getting over the "yes" thing is definitely helpful.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
