😷 I started feeling poorly with the flu about ten days ago and it’s really had a hold on me. So much so that I couldn’t even summon up the energy to pick up my phone, never mind to post anything!
A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ Fibromyalgia which means that if I catch something it can really make me poorly and completely exhausted.
Since I got back from holiday at the end of September, I haven’t really been well. I’ve had to have quite a few days in bed and have had to cancel workshops and events which I absolutely hate doing.
When I first got diagnosed, I was devastated. Although there are a lot worse things to be diagnosed with, it was really hard to hear that I would have to learn how to adapt my life to cope with it.
I do feel proud that I have adapted quite well tbh and I do lead a relatively normal and full life.
But after talking to my Doctor and lots of conversations between hubby and I, I do have to accept that I might have to pull back in holding as many workshops as I have been doing and adapt The Creative Club to help with my health.
This has been a tough decision. I love what I do but I have to accept that it’s I have to choose between looking after my Dad, seeing my family and friends or holding workshops…
So I will be slowing down going forward and maybe getting back to making things again a little bit.
I’m not quite sure how all this will look atm, I do know that I still want to carry on with my sessions and not finish them altogether.
So I’d love it if you could still stick around and see how all this works out!
I’ll post my thoughts over the next week or so as I get my head around it all.
Lots of love Sarah xx
