Melissa's advice is spot on with what my docs have told me. My T recommended that I find volunteer work to get involved in to address my concerns about not contributing, rather just existing.

I'm looking into perhaps taking online courses if I can find an interest or career that would allow or mesh with my symptoms (can't work well with others or under others, poor short time memory, poor concentration, attention span of a two year old). I know I have to be realistic so until that miracle happens I too will have to stick to volunteer work.

I hope all goes well. Your being a mother of three and coping with BP makes you my hero. Good luck with whichever decisions yo make!
