Evaluation of my progress and unrelated non-fatigue.

I re-evaluated on my own, my priorities by keeping track of exactly how much time I do spend on homework, and I found that it wasn't much at all. So I'm in the processing my time management making my homework a lot higher on the list of things to do.

I woke up this morning with mental fatigue, but not much physical. Which was surprising because we went to a party and I stayed up pretty late. So I'd give it a Mental: 6 and Physical 4.5.

Now I'm at a hotel doing my homework, and wrote the evaluation of my schoolwork above. Like I've said, I've been keeping track of how much time I actually do spend on homework and found that it was 10x lower than I mentally thought. Therefore, it's been a lot easier for me to committ to longer periods of homework and study time and I don't feel as overwhelmed.

Now I feel Mental: 7 and physical is 5 after 2.5 hrs of homework, 42 pages of reading...I think I'm doing really well. Oh, and I started my period about 3 days ago.

I would like to note that I read recently that people with fibromyaligia are prone to producing hormones and adreneline to keep up with a faster daily pace of life, but then eventually drain deep down and finally break down, or have such a high cost from stress to their body that they start breaking down physically. I believe I did this 2 years ago after the sleep apnea and I was just trying to do mroe than I could handle and ignoring my pain symptoms, just trying to "get over it".
