My education and good mental health came together at the right time so I went back to work never looking back until I had a major episode a year ago.

You and me must be the 1% spoken of. I was on SSD for a few years and now work a full time job. A very stressful job that I take meds to do.

If you're unable to work right now then tell your wife. Does she think you'd be better working mentally or is about the money?
Thanks for this!
