Dealing with mental illness is not a competition. Functionality is relative. I strive to function at a higher level all the time. A higher level for me, however, may very well be a much lower level for someone else. We do what we may do. When we do better, there is reason for joy. Being grateful for little successes paves the way for more.

Yes, I would like to do what others are capable of. Just the same, I am better served by focusing on what I can do.

Be well.
