What you are going through is really hard. I went through a similar situation 3 years ago. I had built a really good life for myself, and it all got ripped apart by a severe episode. I had to build things back, and i've done that for the most part, but it was a long and difficult process. I was 34 at the time. I can relate to the feeling of lost time, lost self image, and changed friendships. Some of that remains, but i feel better about myself now, and most of my friendships are back to normal, although some will never be. My life has had several periods of building up, and burning down because of this illness. I'm really hoping that was the last time. Anyways , hang in there, things will improve.
