Having gone from being young, healthy and energetic to being just young I have just found it confusing mostly. I do most definately think that the illness is impossible to understand for most people unless they've had it or something similar and I particularly struggle to let people in to see how it is affecting me. Hence why most of the time everyone thinks I'm "fine" until all the wheels fall off! I shall take your advice though and lavish much kindness on myself! Who can refuse such a delicious suggestion? :) @Lynne – I must say I’ve never thought about it like that.

Being tired sucks, as do pain, aging and other limitations. And the young, healthy and energetic have trouble even noticing, let along sympathizing, because deep down they can see that barring sudden, early death, they will suffer those things too. Lavish much kindness on yourself. You have my best wishes. Lynne You are absolutely right. Being tired sucks, as do pain, aging and other limitations.

Lavish much kindness on yourself.

You have my best wishes.
