What gets me is not that I have the agency to say, "I need down time; I need to go to bed; I need to stop for food; I experience a full spectrum of needs that are not weaknesses but organismal requirements," but that I am the ONLY one who can say that. Not only do I have agency to protect myself, I am the sole agent.
And beyond the challenge of accepting biological reality, I am still trying to do so at an age when, typically, I'd be married off and growing with a family.
Wait, what?
Sorry, when it's this much of a challenge keeping myself operational, I need no additional responsibilities for others, especially loved ones.
