Meltdowns Galore: A Mental Health Venting Post
Today has been a bad day for me, and I think writing about it might help me to process it. I woke up in a lot of pain this morning. I overdid it yesterday by going to my group therapy session, then running errands afterwards. The meltdown first thing yesterday morning was not helpful for my spoons. I use an app to track my spoons. It's called Visible and it uses your heart rate to track your activity level to help you not overdo it and cause a flare. It also tracks your Morning Stability score by looking at vitals like your Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Resting Heart Rate (RHR) to determine if you should have a rest day or if you have been pacing well. This morning, it gave me a rating of 1/5 and asked me to be kind to myself today. That should have told me to just crawl back in bed and forget all about this day. I used more than double my allotted points yesterday, so I feel like today started with a massive deficit instead...
