Dyspatient Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 That every day, someone, somewhere is having their worst day. Having an invisible and sometimes debilitating chronic illness has taught me a very focused empathy. I am better about not assuming that anyone who looks ok is ok. I've also learned not to procrastinate. If I have energy and capacity to do something, I do it (of course that has to be balanced with not overdoing it). Lastly, I've gotten really good at judging how long it will take me to do something, whether it's make food, take a shower, get dressed. I think this is because my days are so measured out, I am so deeply aware of the energy and time it is taking me to do anything, so it seems I've internalized a little stop watch. Take Reglan....tick tick tick, got enough time/energy to make pudding for later, then it will be time to rest and have some lunch....tick tick tick....
