Learn to ride the waves. We have a different rhythm of existence. You can’t fight the cycle, but you can learn to work with it.

Some people are marathon runners, but we are sprinters. The trick is to break down marathons into many sprints, and take breaks by switching your marathons.

Just pick half a dozen things your meta-self wants to work on and stick with it. Instead of a bit of everything, we do a lot of everything, but one thing at a time.

      I feel you. Do you have access to meds? At least for me, they do help a LOT to actually put that whole “strategy” into action, more or less, and not feel completely drained… Without meds the inner emotional resistance is pretty high so I can see how this my suggestion can sound like useless “theory” :/

        Actually I don’t, I have a new psychiatrist and the team is hesitant to give a stimulant when I’m on so many other meds for depression, anxiety, insomnia, and pain. They want to start with non-stimulants. I’m at a loss at what to do. Am I really going to start over AGAIN?! I’ve already done this. I just want to feel better already, I want that silence everyone talks about. That ability to just DO.
