  • Do you struggle with feeling guilty about needing to rest?

    “You’re allowed to rest without earning it.”

    Someone said this to me a long time ago, and I never forgot it. Even before using a wheelchair as a treatment for life with muscular dystrophy, I felt guilty about needing to take a break when fatigue set in. 

    It took me a long time to accept, without guilt, that my body needs a break from time to time. Does anyone else feel like this? Do you have any tips for pacing yourself?
