My brain is trying to kill me

[Marlin]I'm dead I'm dead I'm dead I died I'm dead[/Marlin]

I keep thinking hey, I'm doing better today, hey, it's okay, I can mange a bit more!

Then I try to go do a bit more.

Then I end up sore, pained, exhausted, and totally wiped out. And then Karl brings me food, a drink, and my pain pills.

He says I'm like the Calvin and Hobbes comic
{Thought bubbles}: Go ahead down. You'll miss all those trees. You can do it. You'll stop before you go over that ledge at the bottom. You won't go into that pond. Besides, the ice is probably real thick anyway. Go ahead down.

Poor Karl.

New goal

It's ok to function day 2 at the same level you functioned on day 1 - but with less pain/difficulty. In fact, it's a good idea. Even day 3 - reinforce the idea that you could do the same with even less pain/difficulty. THEN move on to just a SMIDGE more - not a whole bunch.
