More good tips here - thank you. I especially like the idea of blocking out text below.

Aireyden, I just wanted to mention that I too often don't know exactly what has caused me to have a bad day. But I have found that sometimes, I don't have that bad day until 2-3 days after a stressful or overloading event.

It's like this: I overdo it on Saturday (shopping, visiting, whatever), Sunday comes and I watch some TV with my hubby, then I start to feel a little more out of it on Monday, so I only do a little more TV or computer. Then, I start feeling a bit worse on Tuesday so I do very little that day maybe 10 minutes of reading. Then, wham Wednesday comes and hits me hard and I'm basically sleeping or staring at a wall with soft music.

It quite often takes me several days to recover from this type of episode (lots of staring at the wall and sleeping). GRRRRRR... so frustrating! But, I'm starting to recognize this pattern. It wasn't the little reading I did on Tuesday, it was the Saturday followed by the rest of the little stuff. It's good to know this - next time I have to catch it much earlier and quit while I'm ahead. Hope this helps.
