Really drained today and wish I could have spent the day in bed, but I managed to get up and half face the world. Days like today are the hardest to cope with, having to deal with the extreme tiredness. I was listening to a radio programme recently about ME and when I heard the description of the symptoms I thought how familiar they sounded, the programme was about people who have ME disliking the fact that doctors are beginning to believe that it is a mental rather than a physical condition, they believe this belittled their problems. But this isn't the case, just because something is a mental problem doesn't make it any less an issue.
It is good that I am beginning to hear more on the radio about different mental health illnesses, not just depression, today Radio 5 did a very interesting item on anxiety, General Anxiety Disorder, saying how it is so much more than simple shyness, it is interesting when they read out a list of possible symptoms and I think good job I wasn't playing a drinking game to those as I would be absolutely drunk. It is important that people realise that mental health can impact on so many different aspects of our lives.
