I think that part of what upsets me so much is knowing that so much of my energy is spent on managing myself - avoiding triggers, maintaining my environment to the best of my abilities - and trying not to be too hard on myself when I'm not able to adequately do that, either.
I haven't been able to get my head around (so to speak) the idea of my issues with my mental health being a chronic, actual, health problem that I have to treat just as I do my hypertension, my migraines, other conditions that I don't judge myself so harshly for having to treat myself for.
