Is anyone else in my situation where you rest a lot on your bed?
Yes.
I sit in a chair, mostly.
Lying back down in the afternoons happens on the worse days, PEM days etc. I can do 2-3 hour sessions of just lying there..not doing anything, not thinking that much either. Just kinda- in some state of being but not doing.

Some time yesterday was spent with a person who comes to help me with errands...we discussed Law of Attraction...all that.
I vow to try harder to convert more negative thoughts to positive or neutral thoughts. I vow.
Today around 11, my brother called and we chatted. About 1/2 an hour into that- ATP ran out. Or whatever it is that happens wherein- nothing is left ZAP. ZOMBIE. I was not....Reeling that In. I was enjoying talking to my brother, and now, talking more or longer is not ok and I am getting really exhausted and can't think...Stop.
Then somebody knocked on the door. Political Canvaser. I opened the door, how nice, a young Woman supporting a candidate...so invite her in. We chat about politics...I'm standing by my chair. ..and I realize I am starting to fall over...I am not supposed to be standing here and chatting with this gal...its MORE chatting and MORE standing...I keep glancing at the chair...eventually I send her on her way.
So I didn't predict any of that. Didn't plan it. Didn't think it. But burned thru all that energy thinking and talking anyway. ZAP.
More rest required. More not doing required.
