I'm so sorry that you are faced with all this. You are brilliant and brave and strong. But the reality is that all those things have an unwanted dimmer switch. I hate to say that I have given up on almost all my dreams. Things that felt possible just a few short years ago feel like Mt. Everest now. I also understand about the people pleasing. I guess I should feel grateful that I'm almost too exhausted to be bothered with it 😉. Regarding disability benefits – have you actually applied? Given the level of function you are at I can't imagine how you couldn't be accepted! If the system there is anything like the one here, it will probably be a frustrating and exhausting process. I highly recommend hiring someone who knows the system to help you. My brain capacity was so bad when I applied that I had to get help! Hugs to you and Foggy ❤️.

The hardest thing I am finding getting my head around is that I can’t do the work that I used to. I work full time, enjoy what I do, but it is not the higher paying, higher responsibility job I had in the past, but just can’t do that type of work anymore.
