A small but notable win

So I've been having a lot of issues lately and really through the last year and a half. Recently I started documenting everything trying to build a picture of symptoms and patterns. As part of that I asked my boss for data on days missed and trouble spots. Getting that data involved a one on one meeting. It was hard seeing all my problems from the last year laid out including some significant trouble. But I did it! I didn't panic or meltdown, I stayed focused and set aside the shame I felt. I did it and was okay afterwards-I'm still very emotional but I'm also caffinated and sick too which doesn't help. It is such a big win. As a bonus she gave me some real validation that my issues might be a real medical bit and not just more mental illness.
