Maybe you're doing what you need to do.  I hope you post here more. |
Thank you for your input! What you said makes sense, yeah, about the protection thingy.
Lol your later note, it's so ironic for me. That I'm doing what I need to do. In that case it's horrible internal conflict hahah, because I want to be functional and not dissociate but then there is alot of this taking up a lot of my days.
Someone recommended mindfulness too. Do you find that helps at all? I can't even do that, because I can't accept not being functional like this. Can't accept that I lost my old self, energy and all that. It takes so long to get it back.
