Oh wow. I can’t believe it was so simple. All I have to do is stop! Wow! Such insight! Such wisdom!

It's not binary. As someone with at times very severe executive dysfunction there's still moments of clarity that the line of reasoning isn't going anywhere and any of the actions I've thought of is better than none. Just like when depressed it's about taking those moments of slight strength and do something, anything, to try to lift your self up even if just a normally small thing like getting out of bed.

Statements like this can be true while we still accept and are forgiving of the fact that as humans and individuals we all have limitations and struggles. We can realize that in part we are victims of our situations without letting it devalue our sense of self, in to victims without agency. Because that more than anything will let those small moments of clarity and strength go to waste and prolong and deepen our struggle.
