I have no idea what a normal life is. If there is a norm, I expect it is a composite arrived at by consensus. For me, the idea is to accept I have issues that require my attention. Instead of feeling guilty or making comparisons with others, I choose to use the often limited energy I have to resolve the issues. There are times I must concede I cannot resolve my issues without help. Just the same, the focus is on what I can do. Getting better requires vigilance, perseverance and reasonable expectations. Life will always be a work in process. We can choose to embrace the process or not. I still cancel days for lack of interest, but I do so realizing my level of functioning is and always will be my responsibility.

Good luck.
