Do you see a pattern?

Sounds like everyone needs to ease their activity a bit and counter it with rest right after it. I've been surviving and to the point of thriving by giving myself plenty of rest in between activities. And I don't spend too much time on the activity or I crash as well.

Slow and steady, give yourself enough time to do things and don't rush it. Even when moving and driving and running errands, give yourself plenty of time to rest. Take that extra minute to pause, breathe and relax. Not enough people do it in "normal" life.

I, too, am in the midst of a setback. I went to a hockey game on Friday (ironic, I know) and did well, thanks to earplugs. I would just sit back and close my eyes if I started to feel overwhelmed. It's spring break here, and it was a college game, so it wasn't very crowded. I was encouraged--I did well. Went to bed early, slept late. Felt good!

I took it easy all weekend. Still felt good. Then yestderday (Tues), I took a leisurely walk--four blocks one way. Felt just terrible last night, so I went to bed very early. Woke up today with a worse headache, feel dizzy, have that heavy-limbed fatigue, and feel nauseated. Gah!

So, I'm going home to nap for a few hours. I know if I don't, this setback will last. Hopefully, I come out of it quickly.
