I've been thinking about this frequently since reading it earlier today, as I'm on day 4 of some kind of migraine related symptoms (vertigo, fatigue, headaches, not four straight days of constant headache thank goodness) most likely due to the weather. I've been frustrated that this has kept me from the outdoor adventures I've planned (including taking photos for this week's post — which will have to be something else I guess) and had me working from my couch instead of going to the office.
How much energy have I burned being frustrated? How much time have I misused by trying to bargain with reality to still keep my plans, instead of accepting that I have to change them? I should surrender to the reality that I'm not just AuDHD, but also have chronic migraines, and no magical medicine will make them go away completely.
Thank you for giving me another way to look at things.
Sorry to hear that you also struggle with your health. Indeed, the more energy we spend fighting something often means we prolong it with the impact we have on our energy and mental health. I’m glad I was able to help you look at it from another perspective, I definitely recommend Miranda Hart’s book! Take care x
