If you're living a good life, how did you get there?

I'm in my early 20s and have had some symptoms (lingering stuff from COVID) deteriorate in the past few months and am now awaiting blood results to find out what exactly it is, but the doctor is sure it's autoimmune.

I just am struggling to contend with the idea that I suddenly have limits now. That I can't just achieve anything I put my mind to like I used to believe. I'm struggling with it.

I am keen to hear from people who are managing their conditions well and what systems they've set up to make sure they get enough rest without feeling like they're missing out on living or achieving their dreams.

How do you ask for help without feeling lazy?

I'm sorry, this is really scattered and I obviously don't have anything well managed right now, but I guess I just need success stories and people telling me what they love about life to help me get out of this mental malaise about my health. Thank you
