it won’t be one moment. you’ll notice the pattern first. bad week, then another, then a stretch that feels okay and you think you’re turning a corner. except the next crash hits exactly like before - same delay between activity and the drop, different trigger.
that’s when it clicks: good days aren’t recovery proof. they’re the 12-24 hours before the crash. your labs stay normal. your doc says you’re fine.
but you’re tracking the window now, and it’s consistent. that’s when you stop asking “when will I recover” and start asking “how do I manage this instead.”
