I often feel that I am such a wasted opportunity and that alone can get me down, feeling demotivated and discarded. Sometimes I feel like I have soooo much to offer and other times I feel like I'm completely and finally exhausted.

I recognize myself completely in what you write.However, I feel a little less like a wasted opportunity now, as I have grown to accept that I have an illness. I just try to be there for others, do some volunteer-work, take care of myself and my son. It is not my fault that I have an illness, and who knows, the uniqe experience I am getting as a bipolar-sufferer can be used to help others in some way. Both my mental stamina and my physical stamina has been low for years though, and it is really like having a physical handicap I think.
