I’ve found that making safe cozy spaces that aren’t my bed has helped. Like making it to the couch, or when I get up to pee, crawling somewhere else.

But I have also been bedridden from pain and sometimes you just make bed the command center and bring nice things there with you. Like a sketchbook and some crayons or a few snacks and a book. Your headphones for music.

Yes! I have MS and some days I feel like can’t move. Like I have 50 bricks over my body. But I have 2 toddlers so I have to get up no matter what 😥

I haven't been to classes in weeks and keep missing my morning work shifts. I don't know why getting up is so hard sometimes, it sucks, especially when those around you don't understand that just the act of getting out of bed is a big thing and that it's not always possible to do everything in your planner
