I think expectations have to be realistic. One of my biggest frustrations is my Dr's telling me to lower my expectations. Well no - i'm smart, I'm ambitious, I'm a hard worker. I just happen to be overcoming some MH and addiction challenges. Ok, so I've given up on the idea of becoming a CFO - that's not realistic given my age and experience now, but I do have hopes of getting a job after retraining as a forensic accountant.
