I work full-time in a management position. I haven't been unemployed since I was 16 or 17. Like a couple others have said, work keeps me grounded. I tend to feel better at work than I do at home for the most part.

I understand the cognitive impairment. I used to be excellent at at lot of things, and now I have to look simple things up sometimes. One of the things I try to do are puzzles. I do sudoku a lot. Reading also seems to help. I used to be a good writer, but now my brain seems incapable. I think maybe if I force myself to do it, I might get better? Lamictal really was affecting my brain when I was taking it. I'm doing a lot better in this area since I quit taking it.
