You all have my sympathies. I walked away from my career as a nurse/manager and wound up on disability because I could not function in any type of work situation. I wish it had never happened; I'd been prepared to nurse till I was 70 so I could get full SS benefits. But life is one of those things that happen to you while you're busy making other plans, and this bipolar thing whipped up into a major storm that swept away almost everything---my career, my home, my place in society. I'm dealing with it but my, how it hurts sometimes.
