most of those things will never change. I have 2 chronic illnesses, bipolar I and severe OCD. They will never go away. And because am too old I won't have children or grandkids. To take care of myself, I will always only work part time.
My meds help a great deal, but I'll never be high functioning.
As far as how it would feel--I have no idea. I've been severly sick since 16 yrs old.
