Plan to see a new movie in town. Make plans to attend a family reunion or an upcoming birthday party. Then even if a bad day sneaks in you'll have something to look forward to. Anticipate problems and their solutions. Whenever you plan an activity, discuss potential problems.
Contingency plans provide alternatives if problems arise.
Taking risks can be stressful, but careful planning and preparation will reduce stress and make activities more enjoyable. Keep your sense of humor. Having a chronic illness is not funny, but looking on the bright side can make getting through difficult times more bearable. Family and friends hurt too when they see you're not feeling well. Try joking a little.
