It is really hard to drive those voices out of your head; to make yourself get up and do something so you feel accomplished as a person in some way. Just know that a lot of people feel that way who have CFS (I do myself, along with FMS, which is why I was attracted to your blog). I think the way you have to look at it is that this is normal for you, and no one else can define who you are. From what I've read, you've already made great strides. And know that your everyday activities sound perfectly normal and enjoyable to me. :) Found your journal through moleskine art.

Tis often said..........-this too shall pass-........yet hopefully it is also true. This too shall pass. Til then, expression is good however it emerges. I can certainly groan and moan with you, in empathy. I so understand, from personal experience. Tis often said……….-this too shall pass-……..yet hopefully it is also true. This too shall pass.

I'm just here reading and wishing the very best for you. I know how hard it is to tap into those natural motivations rather than the demands of What People Expect.

But it's a far better road in most other places along its windy, unpredictable way. You can still draw, as evidenced here, even when you feel shitty, and that's so much better than not drawing at all. E-mail me privately if you wish, with details describing shitty & sleepless much more fully, and I'll gladly make you up some Bach flower remedies, free of charge. Cheers, B.

But since we're stuck here in the 2nd worse place to live in the UK, we'll just have to support you remotely. If there's anything we can do for you, let us know. In the meantime, relax, just sit and watch the wheels go round and round for a while. I wish we lived closer to you Michael, then we’d come over and make you tea and anything else you need.

I've been involved in Freshers at the uni and have gone right into the red energy wise - so I'm having the sweats, worse than usual fatigue and insomnia - I have a nice little radio on my bed - lstening to this does, in the end, send me back to sleep - which gives me interesting dreams which must be coloured by what I'm hearing. Because I have somewhat better phases I find other people have expectations that I'm as OK as the next person. So, when I'm asked to do things and can't I have to go through the same feeble sounding conversation again and again - feeling unbelieved. This, combined with the must-and-should voice, gets me into all kinds of trouble. Oh - much sympathy.

Michael sounds grim... ((((hugs))) perhaps a mini break (at home) from shoulds would help?
