what do you when you're not being militant? when the struggles have gnawed at you enough to take a reprieve from the fight? how do you scrape by?
it can be difficult to keep on going so i just wanted to get the advice of those that's been going at it for years, how can you recover when you're at a point of just running on fumes? and at the same time not have the shame continue to erode your way to ultimately recovering enough and fully going back into your causes?

I tend to go with the philosophy “take it one day at a time” to help self motivate myself. It’s not always a perfect philosophy due to me having ADHD but it gets the job done.

Whenever I feel reprieved it often leads to prayer, I ask for forgiveness and then strength. Strength comes from the hardships we endure against comfort in order to achieve our goals. Even though comfort is a blessing, I don't want to feel like giving up, as it is a quiet death of wanting to matter. As long as we constantly get back up and have the grit to keep going, everything should turn out just as we hoped for.

i would say step one is devoloping a strong, healthy support system! it can obviously be super hard but reaching out to an acquaintance and saying "do you wanna go for coffee or something every fortnight? i would love to be closer friends" is obviously a difficult step to take but it is my connections with people that really help me keep going.
to use a personal example recently i was really stressing about doing my tax (even tho i've done it before i get anxious doing forms and i had some new things to add since last time) and i told one of my close friends. i felt embrassed bc it really felt like something i should have under control, but he was such a sweetheart and made me a whole step by step google doc how to!! you would honestly be amazed at what support people are willing to give if you simply ask!!
