I disagree with that...I would love to be able to work and have tried many times but I always end up overwhelmed and usually in the hospital because of a breakdown and have to quit the job. Even jobs I enjoyed. I just can't work at this time because of the bipolar, anxiety, and PTSD. All I can do right now is set small goals to help me improve my life and to try to overcome some of my obstacles, and I'm concentrating on that.
