My apologies for missing my regular blog of late – I have been in a single-minded mode. We made the decision to move – sell and buy a home – and have been occupied with little else after our house sold quickly. My life has been about the move and nothing else for months. All my other normal pursuits fell away and my life became a single note – the move. Of course I began to think about my struggle with ME/CFS and how, at first, I tried to keep juggling all the other things in my life. But that turned out to be a waste of precious energy. When I finally began to understand the incredibly difficult challenge of ME/CFS, I realized that I needed to focus on getting well to the exclusion of all else.
With ME/CFS, my former ‘type A’ life was totally unsustainable. I was forced to put my life on hold. I was forced to be a patient. I was forced to find answers to my version of ME/CFS. I was forced to focus on ME/CFS to the exclusion of all else.
Now, the hardest part of the move is over. We are in our new home, digging thru boxes trying to find things. I actually cooked a meal today. And with ME/CFS, I finally got to a point when I could begin to bring some things back into my life - slowly and selectively. But now with the move and back then with ME/CFS, I’m keeping my focus on the goal to the exclusion of all else. How are you keeping your focus on getting well again?
