I’m a few years younger, and have also started down the road to be assessed.

Your post resonated strongly with me. Just normal life feels harder than things should be, but the Aussie attitude for blokes is “she’ll be right mate, stop being lazy and don’t be such a pansy”

I fight really fucking hard to try to keep my shit together and be ‘normal’ and I’m tired.

At this point I’ll take any help I can get.
