When I have a good period, I absolutely relish it! :)
I don't see my situation as terribly serious, more frustrating, but I've always been a realist, so that means making allowances for future outcomes. I'm certainly letting it push me in directions I've felt I should move but have been slack on, like telling people they are important to me, rather than worrying about what may happen.
Sharing it is important, because if I want to maintain any semblance of a normal life, it means coming to terms with my limitations. I'm crap at that, often over-commit, and I hide how badly I'm doing so I'm not a nuisance. Plus I also just don't realise how badly I've been doing until I stop.
Classic example, pottered about yesterday for too long, decided to have a mid-afternoon lay down, and took about two hours to get around to it. The moment I lay down, I realised how long I'd been keeping myself going, well past where I should have stopped for a rest. I had no idea until that moment just how wiped-out I was. But if someone had asked, I may have paused and realised that no, a lay down was called for much sooner.
