Dear Eva,

Being trapped by the pain our bodies inflict on us is different from being trapped by Mood. But you know the Mood makes the pains worse.

In your situation you HAVE to pace yourself, no more bursts of cleaning the whole house! Take your time, do a LITTLE to keep things ticking over while you regain what strength you have.

My original advice stands about doing something nice for yourself, maybe in a few days. Look forward to it with anticipation until then. In the mean time, lighthearted/comedy tv and radio shows are recommended to lift your spirits.

…And always come here for love and support.

Dave.
