zh,
it sounds like you have a great therapist who knows what you need when you need it.
I struggle each day, also, to keep working, come home and manage a family. I'm new to my dx and compartmentalizing is a problem when it used to be great. I've been told that my old behaviors aren't needed anymore but it's this "transition period" that is confusing, overwhelming, and makes me feel vulnerable. Tough stuff. I'm just learning how to handle all of this. What has kept me going through the chaos is making simple lists for myself. I try not to be too ambitious in what I need to accomplish because I find it is not realistic and that sets myself up for failure. Prioritize the tasks and it's tell yourself that it's okay if you don't finish the list, it was just a guide to help keep you focused. As I learn more, I will be happy to share. Your questions are great because I can learn from the responses too. You're helping me, eventhough you don't know it.
