Totally relate. I am new here, but have been living with RSD for a few years now.
The other day I did something I never did before; I was mean to my mom. I felt so guilty. My mom drives me a lot because my RSD is in both legs and feet. She had only driven me right around town, but I was in such pain, that when we got home, I told her I wanted to be alone. I didn't even look at her
it's good to know I'm not the only one. Thank you for that.

Make sure you warn folks. "im having a bad day. please dont take it personally, just let me work it out." then do your own thing.
Giving from an empty cup frequently creates this style breakdown. You give to the kids, the husband, the neighbors, the school, the dog, the cat, the house, the bills...then before you know it you have nothing left to give to yourself.
Have you seen the website butyoudontlooksick.com ?? the spoon theory is what you want to read. wonderful at explaining it!
I hope you feel better.  |
