Mental illnesses and disabilities are not just called that for show, anon. You're suffering and it's the therapist's job to understand and help you with that. They would be out of a job if it was just something you could get over. I've been trying to get better for 37 years, and even though I feel like I have grown some in the past 5 or so, that's not to say I don't fuck up or self sabotage because anxiety is a bitch and so are all the other comorbities like attention deficit, depression, my comprehension skills, etc.

I don't think it's a bad thing either to 'fake' being functional. That in itself is a functionality. If it helps you through a situation? Maybe it didn't go the way you ideally wanted it to, but it got you through something. Now instead of picking yourself apart, give yourself small (attainable) goals to do some aspect of it better next time.

Maybe that's just not beating yourself up after something happens. Small steps. For me when things go wrong I used to spend ages self flagelating mentally and now I can keep from doing that, but it doesn't undo the mistakes I make emotionally in the moment (fights, forgetting things, etc). But I'm slightly better at handling the aftermath than I was years ago. It's little things like that, that you might not see as progress, but trust me, it compounds on your ability to handle things.

Don't look at the big picture. It's going to wreck you, and anyone would stress at the magnitude of changing so much. Celebrate your little victories no matter how small because that will help you move forward. I believe in you because I'm struggling to. We can get through this! <3
