It's been a year now for me and I'm still having a difficult time coping as I was so used to working. I worked on this job for 17+ years. I was told I could try and come back after I got additional treatment, however it's not looking very promising. Some days are harder than others. My therapist told me I must get to a point of accepting my illness as I've never done so. I keep hoping that there will someday be this magical cure but in actuality my heart tells be I'm deceiving myself. I know there is such a thing a being stable, but it appears when faced with stressful situations this is when my exacerbations tend to occur. Any pointers on how to how to handle the loss of my job and accepting my condition for what it is?
