Sjögren's Awareness Day 24 - Debra
On hard days it’s important to not push it. My anxiety of having a flare up has inhibited my social life. I’ve learned it is ok to say no, it is ok to take a break for a while even if it isn’t convenient for everyone in the group, it is ok to say I DO NOT FEEL WELL ENOUGH TO DO THIS or THAT! I’ve learned that it is ok to be the one that sits on the sidelines, I don’t have to be the one that does everything for my family. If I sit back it doesn’t mean I am lazy or that I don’t care what festivities are occurring around me.
