Hi Bailey....I too, have thought that I was lazy, at times. Having family members say it just took me longer to realize that this is something, I....truly am not. We have a disorder that makes it hard to function sometimes but we have to learn how to manage the symptoms.

I was a workaholic to cope. I somehow functioned very well and put myself through nursing school and have been in supervisors positions. Today, I no longer wrok (after 10 years full time and 4 years of school) Today...having a shower, making the beds, doing the dishes is an accomplishment. Now, I pat myself on the back for most things I do. i finally forgave myself for having this illness...I know it is not my fault. I try to have a small list of things that need to be done and I have to PUSH myself to do all of it but I do it. It helps to reward yourself for even the smallest things...it has helped me.
Please take care.
