I am so sorry you have so much on your plate right now. I know how it feels to have people rely on you, yet all you can do is barely tread on water without sinking. It is so hard to know how we "feel" all over, but since we "look" fine to others, they assume we are ok. I think you should try to make a list of importance. Decide what the most important "to do" is on that list. Also, set some goals, that are realistic that you feel would benefit you during this time...such as "take a nap each day" "make phone calls and appts for the upcoming week" "make a day to sit down with family and explain how you feel" etc. I know this is what works for me. I feel so disorgnanized each day, so I know you must feel that way also. I also got far behind in many bills, and then when I have the money I FORGET which thing is most important (thanks to the fibro fog). I think the key to you "feeling" like it is getting better and it isn't too much to handle right now is rest. You have a flare right now, and I can almost guarantee it is from the stress. REST, RELAX, and get to feeling a little better. Do what you can do, but don't have guilt over the things you cannot...We are only one person...not superwoman. Fibro doesn't give us a break, especially when we feel overwhelmed...it seems to attack us and put us in a hole for a week or more. Just do what you can, hun. Don't push yourself to do more than you think you can handle. And, let people know if it is too much...just think, they are in pain also...and just because they have "proof" on the outside with surgeries and all, doesn't unvalidate your pain! Tell then you are hurting and take your break. ((((((((((((HUGE GUGS)))))))))
