I got ADHD too and I really admire people achieving things like work and school.

I know some people's longcovid feels better or worse with weather and temperature changes. Perhaps there's some comfort others with the same longcovid symptoms have figured out that makes it easier to function during this weather. My body has gone through lots too. Our bodies really do divine work of keeping us around to do things.

Sounds like you're studying what you're passionate about. It's one thing to remain sticking around physically functioning after certain life experiemces and getting long covid, and on top of that, you try make changes you don't necessarily have to. That's a lot.

Congratulations for surviving homelessness and ending up in a family unit you feel pride in. It should be baseline teachings to teach your family to be kind and supportive of homeless people, but for many families it's not taught. I bet you're advocating against classism in your partner's and kid's eyes. I didn't have much of that from anywhere growing up, I wish I had a bigger headstart in anticlassism. (Classist teachings can really stick around. Like how the other day, I doubted a bad review mentioning a doctor throwing a tantrum just because they were from one of the most expensive, best universities in the nation. But then I remembered a person who threw violent tantrums that got accepted into one, and I saw this as proof that emotionally 4 year old people can get into the best schools. So I understood I was being classist. Being taught more respect for homeless people earlier on probably could've helped me to not reach a classist thought.)

Your house probably smells like heaven when you bake. It will so be lovely in your family's memories. You have quite a list of things to be proud of. It sounds very healthy of you to remain believing in and doing these things regardless of people shaming you.
