Rainy days

I have chronic pain from several conditions. Does anyone else find rainy days, particularly cold days, make everything hurt worse? Add in ADHD guilt for not being productive and my inner talk can get pretty negative. What tips, hacks, tricks, etc do y'all have to combat these feelings, stay productive, etc? Thanks for attending my TED talk. 😊

Thank you, both. You can get to feeling very isolated. Just knowing someone took a moment to respond helps greatly. 💜

I have chronic pain from a few conditions and I definitely know where you are coming from. NO THE WEATHER DOES NOT HELP! I spend most “bad days” in bed mentally beating myself up for not being productive. Please let me know if you
