The best advice I can offer is to try to be compassionate and patient with yourself. I am very bad at this personally but I think it's the only thing that works.

But then when we hit setbacks or just get older and have less energy we can lose those strategies. Feels like throwing one's back out, but spiritually. These disorder clusters that hit executive function - and I'm including PTSD in this - also hit our ability to remember who we are.

I think I was one of those people, and my take is that there's a lot of overlap. All we have is a bunch of terms for a bunch of symptoms. We learn strategies to deal with the symptoms, and after a while it's almost like we never had them at all - the fun way our memory works help with this

All the stuff you did before still counts, you know? The community you created is still there and the safety and support you gave people had and has a measurable effect on their lives. It's your turn to rest now.

Not really punk rock but I think "hope-giving holy mud" is a real good turn of phrase

Wherever and whenever you end up not shutting up about it I would really like to be able to hear!
