I don't know if this will help at all...

But when everything gets on top of me and I fell like I can't cope - my lovely Mum always tells me to lower my expectations of myself right, right down. This way you are able to start achieving (albeit small things) instead of never reaching your goals. Does that makes sense.?

I use this technique from everything to my expectations of the children to daily tasks etc. It helps boose moral a bit I find.

Like instead of thinking - right today I need to do 2 washloads, clean the house, hoover, go to bank etc I just pick one thing that is the most important or simplify a bigger task like cleaning the dirtiet room in the house not the whole house (difficult choice at the moment!!!)

I know your problems are health ones - but they affect homelife and worklife too. If you are having a patch where you aren't having much luck improving health issues - sometimes it helps to find another area to work on that you can have an affect on.

Just a thought!

KickAS and help others do the same!
