During my first session with my therapist she asked me what I manage, because I mentioned that I am a project manager. When I told her "Nothing, I am unemployed for several years now.", I could see my own shame about it being reflected in a shadow running over her face.
Today, a few months and sessions later, I told her that I have a new answer to this question now, that I manage my everyday life and my neurodivergence. She smiled and said, that this is exactly what I should do right now.

@KaCi There's nothing more important than that, really. Good for you.

@KaCi Oooh, I'm so gonna use that cheekily next time jobs or such come up with some unpleasant small-talk conversation! "Oh, I'm currently managing a complete rebuild of a legacy project with a multidisciplinary team of professionals" (Yeah, I'm an ex-project manager too
