The injustice felt by people who have bipolar is real. The question "Why me?" comes up so often and it just turns you inside out thinking what could have been. One of the hardest things I have ever had to accept is the difference between what I have the ability to do and what I am capable of coping with. It makes you feel like a failure. Why can other people hold it together and have goals and dreams and aspirations and I am just holding it together leading a basic life?????
As hard as it may be, dwelling on what could have been can only damage your self confidence and your self esteem. Be proud of yourself for what you can accomplish DESPITE the hardships you face. Be proud that you are continuing to try, that you have not just curled up in a little ball like you would love to do and give up. You still want a better life, you are still striving for things to be better, you have not lost your drive - you are to be commended for this 
Honestly, well done.....
