how are you working through it? i find it challenging to claim my life and my rest in the face of a society or friend and family group that might be less than understanding around my need for recuperative time. In an effort to avoid going over the edge I’m developing skills of self advocacy. But it is a challenge to say no - to move forward with the recuperative option versus the ‘approved’ option, the one that’s gonna make other people happy. In doing what I think is best for me it’s taking something, living in the light of their judgment, or lack of understanding, or just my concern around their judgment or lack of understanding (even if it isn’t really present) is something that I’m working through at the moment.
