Without my degree, I'll be really limited on what I can do in the field I work in and am passionate about (library science). I love where I work and what I do, but I'm terrified that this illness will keep me from being able to achieve my dreams. It already has in some cases.

I can relate to your response as well. I feel like it would be hard to hold a F/T job when I can't handle a P/T job at times. The stress and anxiety really take over and then it is just a downfall to falling into a low phase of depression.
