Re: Does anyone have a problem with overdoing things until you feel pain

This does not sound stupid at all! One of the things I have to do

is to make sure one of my weekend days I do nothing at all! I have

to vegetate! In our busy lives, this is often hard to do, but if I

don't see to it at least most weekends, then I pay for it later. I

also have to make sure that I take a few 4 day weekends through out

the year. I try for at least one long weekend a quarter (unless I

am taking regular vacation time). This year, I suffered a severe

depression, and not taking care of myself this way was one of the

contributing causes.

my emotions. I am now working on setting up boundaries for myself

and not pushing myself past the point of exhaustion. One goal I have

is to sleep in until at least 4:30 am (usually get up around 3, 3:30

or 4 at the latest). Another goal I have is to force myself to rest

for at least 30 minutes a day (sitting on the couch doing nothing,

sleeping etc.). I know this sounds so stupid but it is what I have

to do to stay peaceful.
