Hey @Kyle1
Progress isn't linear and feeling the feels like you are is challenging. Can you make a list and prioritise each item in order of importence? Can you break things up and have drinking/eating breaks. There's a quote I use to help me through sometimes "do something today your tomorrow self will thank you for"

Hello @Kyle1 I used to be bed bound for years with chronic fatigue so I fully understand the feelings of being incapacitated and not being able to face the day ahead. I could not do much either and everything was so overwhelming. This went on for many many years. It is not very nice to live with and also have to put up with other peoples judgements about what you can or can't do. I don't know your other health issues but these are some of the strategies I used to use:
* Legs up the wall yogic posture: which is great rejuvenating posture. If I felt in need of much rest and even sleeping or just relaxing wasn't working I would do this. It was in my emergency toolkit. It is so self soothing that it will restore your body to do the things you want to do. Its a lovely easy posture you just lie flat on the floor with your sit bones against the wall and work your legs up the wall into a vertical position. Please check for contraindications. I dont know if you can do this during your menses, so please check. But you will feel rejuvenated afterwards
* Pietersite crystal: My fatigue used to be so overpowering that at times I would even fail to find a comfortable space to recover. Pietersite creates a beautiful holding space like a lovely energetic cocoon that blocks out the world and enables to to enjoy resting no matter how frayed your nerves are. You will feel held and the outside world will not impinge on your ability to rejuvenate and you will find your strength recovering. Its a favorite of mine as its such a beautiful stone to work with. I love the feeling it creates. Its like an ICU of the crystal world.
I hope you feel better soon lovely woman, these are some of the things that worked for me

Hey @Kyle1
Feeling the feels like you are is difficult to overcome by yourself. Glad you've reached out. Be gentle with yourself at times like this, progress is not linear. Take lots of breaks to drink or eat something.
You could try a make a list and put in order of importence. One thing I tell myself sometimes is, do something today you're tomorrow self will thank you for.
Hope this helps.

Hi @Former-Member just got up from nap here.
was a bit of a mess with appts, both dentist and DES place changed times on me and dentist ended up 1 hr before other one. dentist was like need to pull your tooth out. I'm lik e wont be be time theyre like a you scared? .. then they saw the xray and are all ''oh need to book you in again, going to be messy as tooth large(think they said nothing to work off as last one on end (?)) but many cos huge tooth, huge roots, crap old surgeries, tooth likely brittle, so whill end up digging out small pieces like happened to me couple years ago. so they hit it and pulled at it so just constasnt dull ache atm. Getting done thursday lunchtime now
