Trials and tribulations of a Yorkshire pudding

[Jaquaia]

I've read a little and been watching Graham Norton clips

[Paula]

How are you this morning?

[Jaquaia]

Still feel like I'm wading through treacle. But I've put a wash on and have hoovered through downstairs. Just come up to shower and walking upstairs felt like a huge effort. But going to cross stitch or read between washes and J is planning to pop down before work as he doesn't think she'll bother about fathers day.

[Suzi]

It's good that you are going to pace today lovely...

Wading through treacle def sums up getting through the day. Everything feels like such an effort with mental health. I think that's why people say "mind over matter" because there's an acknowledgement that our mind is the most important aspect to our wellbeing. I read an analogy that refers to the mind as a computer like how a hard drive gets filled with clutter in the background that can't so easily be removed. It slows down a computer like how negative thoughts can slow down our minds over time. It's like our brain chemistry has become untangled over the years & we need somethin to manage it (like an antivirus with a computer for instance). Random I know .

I have RA. Fatigue is something I suffer with a lot with that. It will pass in a few days, it usually does

[Paula]

I’m very impressed that you’re recognising that this is a symptom of RA and not beating yourself up over it

[Jaquaia]

I've still finished the washing. Probably shouldn't have but it needs doing.

[Suzi]

Apart from that are you being kind to yourself?

[Jaquaia]

Trying. I'm either going to read or watch TV tonight
