I struggle with this a lot—functionality.
Why do some people with MI have the ability to have careers and some people with MI are on disability?
I am on disability and always have been. From age 18 to now, age 43. I have no kids either. I was always told by every professional I’ve been treated by, that I am disabled and cannot hold down a full time job. And in my gut, I know they are right.
But then I see other people with mental illnesses, having careers in their chosen fields, or just having full time jobs, and spouses and children.
I can’t even do the spouse and children thing.
I feel like such a failure in life. I feel so guilty and ashamed. A big ball of sick and failure.
Why????????
