The holidays are almost over and honestly I couldn't be more relieved. Like most chronically ill people, the holidays cost about a thousand more spoons than I am allotted. It's really a challenge getting back this time. I've been having like a month of the 'bad' days. These are the worst because they are not like the horrible pain days. These days are the ones where I just have no energy. I need to clean so bad but I can't seem to pry myself out of bed to do anything. I have serious fog and now palpitations today. I'm just tired, but not sleepy. I hate these days more than the horrible pain ones because, like, at least with the excruciating pain I have an excuse. This is just....empty.
And I'm not joking guys my apartment looks like it could be on a horders episode. I have 10 cardboard boxes on the floor that I have just kind of been shuffling to the corner over the week. It's real bad. I am grossed out by my self.
I really really hate it.
What do you guys do when you have these days where you just have zero energy or gumption

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Hope you feel better soon. I am fortunate to not have to be anywhere most days so I can rest if I need to. I just get essential stuff done and don't worry about the rest.

Thanks. I managed to get some stuff done that I needed which was good and took a long nap which was not so good lol.
I still need to finish laundry and change my bedding and vacuum but I think that I'm doing better. For now at least.
I'm going to have to get on disability soon, because I'm not going to get better better, and I just cannot keep doing this shit all the time where im working 50-80 hours a week and trying to keep house and I'm physically and mentally a wreck.
I feel ya. The very thought of starting a project, such as tidying the house, is overwhelming and my brain shuts down.
