How does an observer know whether it's physical pain, mental distress, stress, feeling down, angry or even just concentrating?"<br /><br />Ha! A recent interchange with a colleague illustrated the truth of this: she asked if someone had done something it upset me. I stood bemused for a moment because I was perfectly happy, then realised my brows were furrowed because I was exhausted and feeling pretty horrible (but nevertheless perfectly happy to have got to work and still be upright). So I replied, "No, not at all, this is just my 'staying upright' face" <br /><br />[Rereading some of your particularly helpful blog posts because I'm kind of struggling this week - they make me feel less alone and confident that I am indeed trying my best.

This is such an important thing but it ...Thank you! This is such an important thing but it can be easy to forget. <br /><br />This post, and the one where you said along the lines of 'If I can't do it without unacceptable consequences, then I shouldn't be doung it' helped me to recognise and address a situation that had gradually - and completely unintentionally - developed at work. And thanks to these two posts, I understand why it developed, so I can be on guard against anything similar arising in future. So, thank you for writing such useful and important posts!Musical Lottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12599121945834947950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572102937612408267.post-66320816232843866182017-04-15T17:29:22.733+01:002017-04-15T17:29:22.733+01:00my son has noonan syndrome and struggles daily wit...my son has noonan syndrome and struggles daily with chronic pain and fatigue his school would push him to do more then complain when he falls asleep in class these are great and informative to show the school i ordered the pacing pack for David and will order some of these cards , thank you these explain everything without going into too much detail .Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15689218850295043085noreply@blogger.com
