Coming from a true creature of habit, this part has been the hardest. I think I accepted the frequent change of symptoms when I was on TCHP, but once I returned to work, I expected everything else to get back to “normal”. I was back to my old routine, albeit, in a new role, but the days operations were getting back to normal. My body doesn’t care, and I’m not sure why I feel the pressure to make it so.
I’m working on meeting myself where I am, but finding a balance with work is the hard part. Is full time too much? Is part time too little? Depends on the day or hour, honestly.
I’m just here:
Similarly, instead of beating myself up and comparing myself to others, I've learned to say, "I am doing the best I can." When I know this in my heart, I am at peace.
