I try not to judge what I can do one day by what I can do on another.
I try to give myself "permission" to have days where it's all I can do to drag my butt from the bed to the sofa.
If I know there's something I have to do that's going to knock me off my feet I give myself time off afterward to recoup.
This going to sound odd, but I give myself permissoon to climb on the pity pot once in awhile. There are days I'm just overwhelmed by the unfairness of it (I know life ain't fair). So I give myself a certain amount of time to be pissed, hurt, down, whatever about it. Then I make myself climb down off the pot.

Thank you! You described some of the worst days I have, where I really cannot get up except to use the restroom. It's not that I'm sleepy; it is that I'm fatigued and exhausted. I do take periodic naps on those days, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out what happened to me. Thanks for this!
