It’s a cloudy Tuesday, the temperature hovering near -3 C.
I’ve been sleeping better and longer lately. So, why am I so damn tired! And, why do I hurt all over?
Then it hit me!
Delayed reaction.
Have you ever cut yourself on something really sharp? So, sharp that you don’t notice the cut until you stick your hand in water or bump yourself. Then you think back and realize you cut yourself more than 30 minutes ago.
Delayed reaction.
Emotional hurts are like that.
Folks with Fibromyalgia (and I’m guessing other autoimmunine disorders) can be very sensitive to emotional stress. So, ripples in the fabric of relationships can be very distressing.
The weekend was one of those for me.
I thought I had handled it well. Actually I did.
But, the emotional stress took a toll.
And, today I’m tired. Crabby. And, in pain.
If you find yourself out of sorts with seemingly no cause: Look to the past. Sometime in the past 24 – 48 hours were you exposed to emotional stress?
If so, it’s likely the cause.
