I've been totally medically disabled for 30+ years. I have had all kinds of diagnoses, mis-diagnoses. I have lived with all kinds of meds/med cocktails. I used to know who I was, what my attributes were. I still know who I was at the time of original illness. I don't think that is my baseline anymore, as I have not seen that side of myself in many years.
I am very fatigued and, usually, challenged with a lot of pain due to several medical conditions. I experience some difficulties with everyday living, needing some assistance with some tasks. I LOVE to find/create humor and FUN , whenever/wherever I can do so. I tend to be very grounded, although not as grounded as many. I love people. I love to learn. I am enJOYing art, in all forms, more and more. I love music. I so enJOY the nature and the outdoors. I often pursue my spiritual quest, which has been a huge interest since childhood.
Is this some of my baseline? Or is this a different description? I have not a clue.
Help me out, ~Christina!
My stability is still affected by some meds and by my situation(s)/environment factors this year. It has been tough, maybe impossible, to find a high degree of stability under these circumstances. I am, however, more stable than I have been at times, thanks to Lamictal.

You well know I hate that you have so much pain
When chronic non stop pain is added to the mix well it does complicate things and slogging through your divorce. So you have many many layers of emotions to sort out.
I think your hella strong mentally and physically. To deal with chronic pain for so long and not just turn into a angry I hate the entire world kinda person. Your superwoman
You have identified many things you enjoy and are great at.. that is part of finding baseline , seeing and acknowledging it is a big step , really it is. You find value in these things. When we find value in ourselves it’s part of who we are , part of baseline.
As for gaining a god amount of time to see stability I really think you will find that as you finish removing him from your life. You stress level will certainly decrease, not something you have had for a long time now.
