My partner has had to remind me many times that my disabilities are actually disabling. No matter how hard I try, I’ll never be able to the same tasks as a neurotypical person.

Sometimes just slowing down and working within your limits can drastically improve your symptoms. I find that my symptoms are at their worst when I’m pushing myself too hard, and can go away almost completely if I’ve been resting properly for a few weeks. This is fairly rare because I still haven’t learnt to actually rest.

I’m also seeking medication to help, but it could take a long time to get anything. I’m also prepared for the possibility that the medication isn’t the single solution to all my problems.

I wish you the best in your endeavours. You’re not alone.

Admittedly, there isn’t much overlap between the people genuinely asking and the people actively advancing climate change.
