Hugs....

I feel like mental illness has ruined my life. Even if I get to the point where I can work again, my former career will be a no-go. At 40 I'll have to find something else. It's really hard to work yourself up from rock bottom. I've gone from being on the verge of homelessness to relying almost 100% financially on my boyfriend. It sucks. It's kind of a step up, I guess, but being dependent is really difficult for me.

Be kind to yourself as you heal. Take baby steps. Eventually you'll come to terms with the new you, the new and wiser person you've become from living through difficult times. Good luck!
