At the moment I am finding life
pretty overwhelming. With a busy job and living with MS, I find that I am
unable to do what I want and end up doing a lot of what I do not want. But I
suspect that it isn’t just me. There is only so much that we can take as human
beings. We are all finite and our capacity
for many things is limited, whether we are ill or not. We can only handle so much emotion, so many
people, so many things to do, and we live in a world which is not very good at
accepting those limitations. It seems to
me that most people I know are not sleeping enough and this is an example of
that, there are so many demands on our time and attention. TV, the internet, 24
hr shopping and so many things that technology brings make it possible for us
to be so absorbed or distracted that we lose track of time and don’t feel how
tired we are. When our minds are so stimulated it is very difficult to wind
down and sleep. It used to be a basic
thing of understanding: knowing what we need to slow down and sleep, but now it
is increasingly forgotten.
