I appreciate this advice, especially talking to the doc. I could probably stand to bring it up again, it's been a while. My biggest issue for sure is the guilt and frustration that comes with my unpredictable performance, but it's less an issue of disappointing others and more of an issue of self-worth. I have things I legitimately want to do with my life, and both the skill and the opportunity to do those things. I just... can't seem to do it. I rationally know why, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating.
It's nice, at least, that it's something we talk about nowadays.
