It's true that I have slowed, but I take it as an intellectual challenge, that is, how can I be more efficient, or work in a new way in order to complete things in a shorter amount of (or the same amount as I used to
) time. I refuse to be critical of myself because of my "obstacle". Frustrated, sometimes... but critical, not ever. I have also found that slower is often better for some things... Of course, I know that I am still at the beginning of this, so I am sorry if I'm coming off as arrogant. I know it will get harder. I have just become determined since my diagnosis to be positive and try to stay positive.
