Have you had one of these days? Some days the pain is too much to bare. You lack the energy to live life the way it really should be lived. You want the day to be over as soon as it starts. You know the world would be a better place if you just stayed in bed and avoided people.
Let's face it. We all have these days, whether we suffer from a chronic condition or not. My advice is to take an "Out of Order" day. Dedicate that day to relax and renew yourself. Take a break. It will put you back to normal quicker and it will clear your mind. Some of my favorite "Out of Order" activities are reading a good book, watching movies, writing random stories, poems, or blog entries, etc.
Sometimes, an "Out of Order" day doesn't start until later in the day. That is when you treat yourself to something that will make you feel better. Find a way, even if you have to cancel something else, to take time for yourself. It will make a difference. I promise.
By the way, I will be "Out of Order" the rest the night. ;)
