Most everyone with fibromyalgia (FM) knows that they must pace their activities and avoid overexertion, even on a good day. Yet, this philosophy that is so essential for living with FM also requires your family to work harder to make up for your limitations, which often brings out the guilt.
Feeling guilty is a normal expression, it's learning how to manage this symptom that takes understanding, says Thomas Fuller, Ph.D. , of Grand Rapids, MI. "Guilt is a sign that you have a conscience, and it is letting you know it is there. People with little conscience act selfishly, and without concern for their impact on others ... If you feel guilty about your impact on others, then you are psychologically more healthy, actually." The trick is to better understand the sources of your guilt and develop ways to control these feelings so that they do not become destructive.
