Disc-Functioning Dan

23/07/2025

I’ve learned to stap...
• feeling guilty for resting.
• downplaying how hard this really is.
• expecting energy no longer have.
• waiting for people to check in.
• trying to get people to understand.
• apologizing for what I can’t control.
• waiting to feel normal again.
• letting fear of judgment guide choices.
• feeling guilty for asking for help.
• comparing my journey to someone else’s.

PIGLET: “It’s rather hot today, isn’t it, Pooh!”
POOH: “Yep, I’m sweating like an absolute bastard, Piglet.”

If life is supposed to be a test…
I think I got the Kobayashi Maru

Don’t go above and beyond for people anymore. Meet them as far as they meet you. Speak to them as much as they speak to you. Include them as much as they include you.
