Know what you mean. Every now and then I get a bit defiant and think I AM going to do this or that, I can cope etc. etc. and then end up really paying for it. And it can be from doing something fairly minimal.

Other times I push it a bit and the symptoms just stay at the usual level.

My symptoms were extra crap today, but I decided to just go with it. I thought well, whatever, it's been this bad before...and somehow this evening I feel a bit better. They haven't gone but being more accepting makes it easier. I'll have to practice this state of mind, it doesn't come naturally to me!

I don't know whether watching TV makes it worse. It seems likely that watching for hours would but I know it's an easy option when you have this problem..... There's always the radio, listening to discussions/plays can be nice.
