Oh boy!
I do wonder who will finish my fics that i have in my drafts unfinished :D
"Doing your best" (with chronic illness)
My doctor (bless him) straight up went "don't" when I said "I'll do my best"
Because what I think "my best" is, is completely draining myself for this One Thing and going above and beyond
I guess this goes for people w/o chronic illness as well, but "your best" shouldn't mean you end up hurting yourself in the long run. "Your best" is as much as you are willing to devote to something proportional to how much you care about it within the confines of what is healthy for you AND considering all the other stuff you have to do
Please just- holy heck we're already struggling so much please don't devote your precious energy to something that doesn't deserve it
don't do your best, do whats best for you
