No, it doesn't sound 'poor me' at all. You have mentioned other issues/diagnoses and clearly have a lot of challenges between 'episodes,' a lot of different things going on. For years I had (and still do, to an extent) a horrific time just getting out of the house, which has affected my work, social life, everything. A tenuous grasp of safety, a nasty case of PTSD, some horrific things that happened when I lived in South America, amongst other things, that I may always struggle with in one way or another. I try to think in 'baby steps' -every little step forward I make, a triumph, small to some, huge to me. So... shall we take baby steps? I hope you can feel better, little by little, over time.
