Re: How to get through a bad day

April 30, 2010

I do a lot of knitting and crocheting for preemies (Charity).

I read a lot. Anything that I can do to occupy my mind is helpful for me.

Hello , my name is .

I am having a very challenging day. I agree With you about distractioning

yourself when you have a bad day. You gave me some good tips about distracting

myself.

Right now I'm pushing myseif to sit up and read. I get depress often. I was

diagnois with lupus at 11yrs old and diagnois with fibromyalagia at 15yrs old. I

am now 27yrs old.

What a wonderful list. It covers everything that was covered in the Mayo's Pain

Rehabilitation Center. I've summarized by category and added a few things that

I or friends do under each.

Distraction: Wii Dance, dancing, singing, drumming, walking, drawing,

journaling, beading, knitting, reading, email, TV/movie, talking to friends

(about anything but pain), volunteering, playing with kids/dogs/cats, jokes
