Mine is comorbid with being bipolar. The only thing that helped was medication and then…

- Learning CBT from a book with the help of a therapist to guide me. https://www.amazon.com/Feeling-Good-Handbook-David-Burns/dp/... The core of it is in the first few chapters. Never read the later ones once I got the concept.

- Learning how to have realistic expectations about what I can do day after day.

- Prioritize self-care and optimize for long-term performance over short term success. This includes going to bed earlier than I want. :(

- Working with my manager to have the proper accommodations. In my case, strict 40-hour work week, no work interruptions outside of that, and time off as needed.

I’ve needed accommodations less since things have evened out, but I’ll never be able to do on-call.
