functional vs nonfunctional- what is it
Sun, 01-07-2007 - 1:37am

I'm guessing that I am not functional right now. I want to think I am, but I've not been able to handle or juggle life like a 'normal' person. I'm not working right now, even though I need to very badly. I haven't been paying bills on time, at least I'm not letting it get to the 3 months behind point though.

What must one do to become a part of the functional label? How does one bring themselves out of the funk and sludge enough to hit functioning? Then more importantly, how does one maintain their level of functioning once they hit it?

See I have been functional many times, but maintaining my functioning status has been rather difficult.

ETA: after weeks of sleeping 11-14hrs a day and waking up still feeling exhausted, I woke up refreshed and happy after only 5hrs of sleep at 7am today!
