Hi Louis,
What you've shared shows real self-awareness — and that in itself is already a big step forward!
Your mum's words say it all, don't they? Parents don't just want to leave things behind; they want to see you live well while they're still here. That's the real gift. And it sounds like you've finally heard her. ❤️
I somehow recognize myself in what you're describing, Louis. When my diagnosis finally forced me to step back from my work — a very important part of my life — it wasn't easy at all. I felt like I was losing part of myself — my value, my purpose, my independence — and I had to rework my whole sense of who I was and what I was for. That kind of internal shift doesn't happen on its own.
You asked me earlier how neuropsychological support has helped me. What you're sharing today answers that question better than I could. My neuropsychologist helped me rebuild my sense of value after stepping back from work, untangle the loss of financial independence, and find a healthier relationship with myself, among other things. That inner journey you're on, Louis — questioning, reflecting, wanting to live differently — is real and important work. And it's the kind that's much easier with the right support alongside you. I've mentioned it before, and I'll mention it again: finding that support could make a real difference.
I'm glad you're seeing your specialist next week and I'm curious to hear what comes out of that conversation. And do let me know how the screen time reduction goes — small changes sometimes surprise us.
Fingers crossed for you!
Chris
