I am the same way! It took me a year to finally start asking for help and it was the turning point in my recovery. I have gotten better about not taking on too much and always get a "reminder" (by returning symptoms) when overdoing it.

My poor memory has served me too, in the way of forgetting about upsetting things with people. The good stuff fades away a little too, but life can be less stressful if I just wait a week or so!

Sometimes it's hard to monitor one's self when the part of your brain that does that is injured!
