I see you say you have been on disability for 15 years. I would like to ask a few questions? How do you keep your mind and spirit occupied without risking losing your disability status i.e. job, volunteering, etc.? I understand they can disqualify you from disability. I have found myself really lost with the loss of career and feeling no sense of self worth. Have you maintained a longterm relationship with a Pdoc as part of your care and re-qualification process?
Thanks
