Does any one else in the chronic fatigue community use pacing? I use it to help with my fibro. It’s something I’ve been doing for years without realising it, maybe due to my ASD, but I love it. What helps you rest? For me it’s video games, books, journalling (when I have the energy), and hula hooping.

I use it as best I can (sometimes hard depending on what's needed that day) since it helps prevent flares for me. I read, watch shows, nap, play video games, and if I have the energy to, garden

@Juno2191 I’d love to get into gardening- it’s just never been a special interest for me - so it’s hard to get my head to want to focus on it. But hype about fellow gamer and reader 💖 but I do agree it can be hard in the day. Eg after work, even though I enjoy it and it’s a beautiful 9-5 (I used to do shift work) I’m still heller exhausted after.
