I bet many of you would answer a resounding "No"!
If your first thought was, "Why bother with my looks, no one cares and I don't do anything anyway!" or "I'm sick and if I look good people won't believe I'm sick!", then PLEASE read on.
First thought...."Why bother?". Well, I'll tell you why....FOR YOU! Now, I'm not saying that you have to get all dolled up in your "Sunday best", or wear a dress, etc. Unless, of course, you are comfortable in dresses.
I tend to wear clothing that is simply and comfortable. But you can accessorize it with a special scarf or earrings. Men, don't always lay around in your sweats and a t-shirt. Why not throw on some jeans or khaki shorts and take a walk around the block. Or, if you must lay around all of the time (which we'll discuss), be in clean, decent sweats with no holes or stains on them. This goes for both sexes! Women love sweats too!
But being clean, doing your hair, wearing something "nice" is something you do for YOU! It helps you feel better.
In the early days of my struggle with Fibro, I remember not having enough energy to, much less wanting to, shower, do my hair, etc. But when I did, I felt better. Then I started to pick out some of the casual outfits that I used to wear on weekends, rather than just sweats. I felt ever better than with just the shower!
The point is to take care of yourself!
If your first thought was "I'm worried that people won't believe I'm sick!", well, I have two words for you....
WHO CARES?? I'm sorry to be blunt, but it's true. If you spend your time worrying about what others will think, then you're wasting your time.
I seemed to never look sick enough...unless I went around looking ragged and then I felt worse too. Why do that?
The people that matter in your life, will believe you. Those that don't believe you, well, you have a choice, you can spend your time telling them your story OR you can not bother with them.
You need to take care of YOU. Put yourself second to only God and remember, cleanliness is next to godliness. : ) Sorry, I couldn't resist. Hey, I'm just trying to help you feel better emotionally.
We all know that if we feel better emotionally, it goes a huge distance in helping us feel better physically.
Take care of YOU today.....
I will continue with my "You're a "fraud".." story later.....until then....
Blessings....
