That is a bit difficult when you are always making sure your medication is correct ,that you keep within certain parameters that you have been given by your GP or Consultant! No one I know try to make things easy for their illness to take over they try to make the best from the hand they have been dealt! That op appears to make me think (I don't speak for anyone else) it's my fault I am suffering day in and day out 24/7. 52 weeks a year! I push myself daily just to get up! I try so hard to enjoy what I can .Like my Grandchildren and Sons and Daughters as well as other family members visits! I don't wallow I do everything to keep my illnesses from ruining what I have left ! All of us who are I'll try our best from my own observations just read some of the stories on here!!

I totally agree with this. For years I took care of everyone else, never myself. I gave and gave of myself until I finally lost it.

I was forced to learn how to say No to people and put my needs first.

Had I been more aware I wouldn't have come crashing down.

Thanks for the post because it reminds me I come first. My physical and mental health are important.

You are so so right, I agree 100% I have put others first to the detriment of my own health, it's only recently that I have started to say No to people. Instead of reading it with an open mind I read it thinking it was a put down ( I actually thought that was what it was until I read your above post ,then read the original again) Your personal Health should be the most important thing you think about. My apologies if I came across wrong.all the best Derek
