Without getting too much into it, I've always felt I must carry the world on my shoulders. I felt I mus fix all of the worlds major problems. My therapist and I suspect this is a result due to trauma, but I won't get into that for now. Just recently I've been trying to rid myself of this belief- the idea that I personally am responsible for fixing everything.
But during this process, I feel I should not entirely give up on being an activist, even though I'm severely disabled. However I can't figure out what I could practically do while I have so much to sort out in my personal life. Does anyone have any simple ideas for what I can do to contribute to the world without having to dedicate all of my energy toward activism? Exactly who or what should I dedicate some of my energy to?

Helping the people in your immediate sphere of influence, educating yourself and others, caring for yourself, maintaining proper boundaries in all relationships, write down a list of things you care about, keep all your goals small and manageable.
