I've been struggling lately with accepting the conditions imposed on me by my health issues. Low energy, lots and lots of meds, nausea from meds, what feels like a never-ending focus on the negative aspects of my health, constant vigilance over what I eat, fatigue, etc.....
I realized yesterday that my health issues take up about 75% of my mental energy. I don't know if I can change that, and I guess even if I can, the thought of it feels exhausting. It feels like my bad health controls my entire life. And one of the aspects of my health condition is fatigue and low-energy, so I feel pretty screwed in trying to make positive changes.
Does anyone else have a chronic health condition? And if so, how do you deal with it? How do you keep it from controlling your life?
