a note to myself, I am human, so stop being hard on yourself
In my long post stroke journey, I realised I tend to be too hard on myself for not able to do things perfectly or doing simple unharmful mistakes. for example right after my stroke when I was still adjusting to my new way of life, and not seeing things which is right there on left side of the counter because I didn't scan the table, I used to be so hard on myself, chatter in my brain will not hesitate to tell me oh I m such a looser for messing up simple things in life, well as I am growing in wisdom with my life experience, I am realising how wrong I was & hard I was & made myself unnecessary unhappy, now I am realising I was so wrong, I had never scaned whole table in my previous 34 years to start doing now but just because I didn't do it does not make me big failure. So wanted to tell all the survivors & caregivers who are doing something new with new limitations to not do the same mistakes I did & created unnecessary unhappiness.
