Well, that was a bit of a dig... but I know it wasn't intentional, it's just that it's exactly how I judge myself. I'm also "disabled", close to your age (27) living with my parents, and receiving income support from the Government; I know how difficult it is, dealing with the guilt, the pressure, the self-doubt, and the judgementalism. I'm not bipolar, however, "just" OCD, anxiety, and on-off depression, ... has gone on so long, I don't know if I'm even depressed anymore! xD I just try to get on with it. I've always been a miserable sod. If you want to PM, so we can complain to each-other how miserable and frustrated we are with our predicament, then I'm all for it. *smirk* Let's face it, we either complain to each-other, or to our folks. :P I dunno about your folks, but my dad has probably for-sure had enough of hearing about how my "anxiety is really bad today", "I didn't get much sleep last night", "I'm obsessing again", "I feel like crap", etc. ¬_¬
