I felt the same way for a long time. I feel like I wasted my four years at uni because I spent so much time being preoccupied with the disorder. I missed out on a lot of social functions/research opportunities/job opportunities/grades. Then I graduated and essentially stopped functioning and felt bad about myself for over half a year.

Hamster is right, there will be a lot of disappointments. The biggest thing I've come to cope with/learn is that I can shape my future and its not too late for me. It isn't too late for you, either.
