Questioning health life choices

I'm trying really hard to not go down a slippery slope or rabbit hole. I'm also not being self-indulgent or seeking pity. I'm honestly trying to evaluate this and understand it better.

What I'm eluding to here is that basically every part of my body and mind have one or more significant health conditions. I've been working for years to address these.

But sometimes of late, I question why I am doing it at all. What benefit am I providing to society and to people around me? The last thing I want to do is to be a net drain on all types of resources.

This isn't a cry for help that I am having suicidal ideation. It's more just questioning, um, life choices? I don't particularly have someone to talk this with IRL, although I'm trying to engage with a therapist that can shed some light on this and other important mental topics.

Any insights are most appreciated, dear Fediversians.

@AncTreat5358@mindly.social I guess most of us try to look after what we have, and that’s what you’re doing? For example, I would generally rather read a book than exercise, but I try to find a fun way to move my body because I want to look after it. Good luck with the therapist !

@kathsprout@theblower.au I love that take/spin on it. Yes, that is exactly what I'm doing! I just am trying to make sure I'm doing it for the right reasons, and am not taking away valuable resources from others who need it more than I.

Love your analogy on reading a good book vs exercising.

Thanks for the kind words!
