I started my own blog (not beauty related, I'm into writing poetry and stuff) just a few days ago and I'm a complete newbie to this. XD Just wanted to let you know that you've been my main source of motivation this past month:) Thank you.<br /><br /><br />asandystorm.blogspot.comSandynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931583758905269229.post-29229007465938691142015-06-10T21:18:01.658+01:002015-06-10T21:18:01.658+01:00Hey, just found your blog and over the last few da...Hey, just found your blog and over the last few days have read through numerous posts of yours and found it inspirational! I'm in the limbo of being told I have Chronic Fatigue syndrome but without having the 'proper' diagnosis and finding things very hard to learn and deal with and teaching myself things like pacing so finding a blog such as yours has been a bit marvellous. Also inspired me to start my own blog, and it has been helping to have a bit of time planning and blogging :) One of the most difficult things I've found is the boredom and trying to fill my days with enough that I feel productive without ending up feeling absolutely rubbish! But slowly, slowly learning new things and tips.<br /><br />Amy :) http://alianoutbody.blogspot.co.uk/Amy Walkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931583758905269229.post-20991178841457432002015-06-08T22:59:19.419+01:002015-06-08T22:59:19.419+01:00Thank you so much, Kristina!

I agree, you can replace a job but you can't replace your health - my body is under a lot less strain now and I can focus on getting better, although I would love to work a few hours a week. It's tough being a motivated and driven person with a body that doesn't work properly! But it has made me redefine my idea of success and I just try to work around my limitations as much as I can! Thanks, that means a lot :) xMeg Sayshttp://www.meg-says.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931583758905269229.post-63910373885722873662015-06-06T22:47:54.941+01:002015-06-06T22:47:54.941+01:00Just found your blog and you're so lovely.

Of course we all (hope) understand that your illness not always let you write your wonderful posts. But even if it was not because of illness - nobody can force you to do anything. Commitment shouldn't become a fixation. If blogging is your passion, it's so normal to have periods when you just not feel inspired. I guess I just want to say that it's absolutely normal to loose your grip on your commitments and not be too harsh with yourself. But at the same time - of course I wish that you have to deal only with lack of inspiration and motivation, not this illness. <br />Happy to hear that your appointement was productive and without expectations just hope it will be helpful for you. Meg, sorry for another so wordish comment, but you always inspire me to write, cause it's just impossible not to try and express what I feel. And this feeling is love:)Polinahttp://berrystylegirl.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931583758905269229.post-23347161730476463642015-06-03T19:48:12.125+01:002015-06-03T19:48:12.125+01:00Nice little catch up post :) I am sorry to hear yo...Nice little catch up post :) I am sorry to hear your job role did not work out but I can totally relate and appreciate that health has to come first. I have been pondering about jobs along those lines but don't think I'm quite in a position to explore that yet. It's great you have found your calling with YouTube, I really enjoy watching your videos. You are such a natural behind the camera. Best of luck with the sleep clinic. I hope they can help you. I have found sleep to be so important ... which kind of goes without saying but it's made the world of difference to me getting my sleep sorted out. It's still not perfect but so much improved. I hope the same for you too. Good luck with the blog overhaul. I look forward to seeing it :)Donna // Fibro Geekhttp://www.fibrogeek.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931583758905269229.post-66304833139855339052015-06-03T17:30:13.738+01:002015-06-03T17:30:13.738+01:00Lovely little catch up there Meg :) i'd defini...Lovely little catch up there Meg :) i'd definitely be interested in how your appointment went as it all feels too familiar to me at the moment! I'm so glad you're doing what's right for you and putting your health first, I really struggle with that, I just feel like I'm going to let everyone down so struggle on through and then feel horrible afterwards. I think I need to take a leaf out of your book!

That's okay, I was so ...Thanks so much, Lauren! That's okay, I was so gutted at the time and am still sad about it but that's life, nothing is worth making yourself ill for. Aww, thank you :) funnily enough I went to see a different GP today and he said don't bother with a sleep clinic (for various reasons!) so that one is out of the window for now but he was absolutely amazing, one of the best GPs I've ever seen so I'm going to continue seeing him and hopefully things will happen much quicker, sometimes you find someone who just 'gets it' and really understands that you need answers and help urgently. So that's a positive :) glad you're back on track, always here if you're feeling wobbly and need a pal! Going to catch up on your latest videos tomorrow morning with a cup of tea, and will film The Positivity Tag soon :) thank you for tagging me lovely, and for commenting as always!

It's not like blogging where you aren't obligated to write anything if you're not well enough, you've got deadlines to meet and people who are counting on you to deliver, I pushed myself so much but eventually realised that no matter how much I loved the job it just wasn't realistic to continue doing with my health the way it is. Really hoping that things will be brighter for you soon lovely, let me know if there's anything I can do to help and know that I'm thinking of you with my fingers crossed. I can try and do a post on how to work with ME, or something? Not than I'm an expert but maybe it could help?

I&#...Thanks so much, Steph :) so glad you think so! I'd really like to put a plan in place as at the moment I'm doing my best to keep up but it isn't the most energy-friendly way - it's like 'film a video, edit it and upload it all in the same day as I haven't been well enough to film for months and I've run out of content and then suffer for a fortnight'... not good! I don't want it to take such a toll that I have to stop so I'm going to work really hard on planning my days out hour by hour and ensuring I get enough rest. If I'm gonna do it I might as well try my best to do it the right way, even if the old ME is going to make that difficult! That really means a lot, thank you for the support :) xMeg Sayshttp://www.meg-says.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931583758905269229.post-24949343154790627562015-06-02T21:28:47.783+01:002015-06-02T21:28:47.783+01:00SO lovely to see you blogging again lovely - healt...SO lovely to see you blogging again lovely - health obviously comes first but so sorry to hear you had to quit the job with Melvita!<br />Amazing news about the meeting and sleep clinic, I hope it all helps you out and gets you back in a rhythm of sleep.
