Less Stigma, Go Figure

My mental health symptoms are gone. I feel less attacked by stigma in this neighborhood. At the very least, I’m no longer as paranoid about it as I was. I’m really trying hard to get a good night’s sleep. I’m lucky compared to other people with 22q, in that I probably sleep better or more than many of them. I feel bad I’m so stable while other people are not, but what the pandemic has taught me is that helping others could be a waste of energy right now. I’m not seeing that I need to help people to make myself the good person, just doing the bang-up job taking care of myself that I already do is better.
