Please tell me how to have a heart for the rest of my life.

Thank you for your support. I'm a 43 year old housewife with no kids.
I was recently told that I am suspected of having mild Asperger's.
People around me other than my husband said, “It's probably a day off even though I don't have children. Why aren't you working?” It is often said.
I think so myself. However, if you do all the housework, it's like you have no time for yourself at all. I've always thought that people act slower than people.
One day, I thought, “If you cook 2 dishes at the same time, you can save time,” and I executed it, but the kitchen became a mess like after the earthquake, and the cooking was also a mess.
I noticed “I can't do two things at the same time” and went to the doctor.
I mean, I'm happy living with my husband, but I had a self that wasn't used to other environments, and I thought it was strange for 8 years.
Incidentally, before I got married, I worked as a caregiver. I was surprised by my teacher, and I wonder why I was able to do it now.
Then I said to my teacher, “I want to work outside...”
The teacher said, “There is a gap between not being able to go to work during infertility treatment. Excuse me, but you're 43 years old. ... I don't recommend working now because I think it's going to hurt myself both mentally and physically. I was told, “Regardless of “working,” I would recommend attending a hobby or club...”
As for infertility, I was once told by an old woman in the neighborhood, “You have defects, so you can't give birth to children.” However, it overcame anger and was stunned, so I was able to get through it by laughing, “That's right, that's a bad wife, isn't it?”
However, being told that I can't work is painful, probably because I really care about it too.
Also, when I thought I couldn't do normal things normally, meeting anyone became a hassle, and I finally became withdrawn.

All I know is that it shouldn't stay this way.
The teacher says, “Take care of yourself,” and my husband says, “Don't overdo it.”
However, if everyone takes good care of themselves and lives without overdoing it, society will go crazy.
I think the economy is spinning because everyone is putting themselves on the back burner and overdoing it.
I can't think about things casually, so I can only think “take care of yourself, don't overdo it = indulgence.”
I'm sorry for the long introduction, but what kind of feelings do you think I should have for the rest of my life from now on? Please tell me.

Is there anything else to do other than become familiar with the present?

The first thing to do is ask your husband a question.
“Why don't you get angry?” “How can my mother and family overcome anger?”
You were a victim in your family. That's an undeniable truth. But even in such a family, you tried to love them. It must have been painful. There is a way to break that negative chain.
One is for you to recover from your sense of being a victim. Relieve your dependency on something.
Refrain from taking medication as much as possible. This is because it paralyzes the senses, and it is a sign of dependency from habit.
The Zen way of life is easy.
You don't have to do two things at the same time.
You don't need to read two books at the same time.
Asura is the opposite of that, and it represents a state of mind where the mind is disturbed and tinged with sorrow while trying to do this and that. Zen is exclusive. I'm a stay-at-home boy, and if you do, I'm a full-time housewife.
I'm just bluntly doing what I'm heading towards one by one.
My life has always been and will always be nothing but the present.
What else is there in life other than doing exactly what you're working on right now?
It's about living such a simple and true way of life.
These are convenient times. Online streaming is also easy. If you are interested, please join TOKYO ZEN on Facebook. It's an unrestrained Zen ceremony where you don't cross your legs, you don't get hit, and there are no restraints.

A job with no pay and no one appreciates it is being a mother.

  There are commercials, and when there are no days off, it becomes particularly busy during Christmas and New Year. They work 24 hours a day, and it doesn't matter if it's late at night during an emergency. There is no salary. I have to work even when complaints are spilled and complained about. That job is... being a mother. There was that. It seems that many people who saw this commercial acted to thank their mother from now on.
Why do full-time housewives have to be blamed so much? I have my doubts about the eagle. Is protecting the house while my husband is away such a bad thing? Is it that sweet for a married couple to be able to eat a meal together? You're living a fully independent life. Even housework doesn't go well unless you stand on your own to decide when to wash and clean efficiently. I can imagine what they were told by neighbors, acquaintances, and doctors, but isn't it OK to take good reviews of people? Listen to slander and slander, and for the time being, set your own goals and act.
The goal referred to here is “save money in order to save money to go to Hawaii.” or “I cook meals for my husband to tell me 3 times a day that they are delicious.” But I think it's fine.
Whether you're strict or spoiled, I think if you enjoy your life, you'll naturally be able to pave the way. However, when people around you are harmed, I think it's okay to apply the brakes a little bit. Please take safety into consideration.
One way to do that is to go to zazen sessions.

unconcerned

I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome about 10 years ago.
Since I was a kid, I've understood it myself, but in my life and in my interpersonal relationships, I don't know what to do, and I just reflect on it later.
They're the same age, and Aspergers aren't recognized as much as they are now, and they've probably had bad feelings and pain since they were children.

But cat lovers are amazing; I do housework; I still have periodic bad times, and I fight with myself that day and I want to stay away, and when the requirements are over, I fall asleep.

I don't know if it will be helpful, but I'll write everything one by one in my notebook and review it carefully. I will also write down my schedule in quite a bit of detail.
I write 23 books in January.

After that, I set my own rules for the beginning and end of all of my actions.

I always praise Nembutsu.

It may not be helpful, but as it is, there are no problems.

What is the difference between overdoing it and trying too hard

I love cats

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is a humble answer to the question.

I wonder if my physical condition has returned... I'm really worried.

Every human being has things they are bad at, bad at, and things they can't do. There is no such thing as an all-purpose perfect person. I think it would be nice if you could think one by one at your own pace and what you can do about what is right in front of you without much concern for the heartless voice or voice you don't understand in the outfield. Above all, I am truly grateful that my kind-hearted and understanding husband is there to support me.

Regarding “overdoing things,” I think the following humble answers will be helpful.

Question “I don't understand the difference between overdoing it and trying hard”
http://blog.livedoor.jp/hasunoha_kawaguchi/archives/1004512020.html

“... Buddhism explains that this world is an “lucky” world made up of mutual support, help, and sharing, but I believe that by using various “relationships” as a base and valuing “relationships,” we will be able to spend a well-balanced and middle path. Simply put, it means being able to rely on it well and be able to be relied upon again. ・・”

Of course, it is necessary to firmly fulfill your responsibilities for what you need to do and what you must do. The question is how far you can go and what you can do for a day... It's also good to write down what you need to do for a day, but I think it's also one thing that can be clarified concretely by having thorough discussions with your teacher and husband, estimating the current state of yourself, various shares with your husband, etc., and estimating moderation. Also, I think you won't be burdened with strange liabilities if you respond moderately and appropriately along with the judgments of people other than yourself, while reviewing each time and further increasing what you can do and trying to reduce what you can't do.

Regarding “I will do my best,” we have also dealt with the following questions, so please take a look.
