I feel that I am high functioning. I've been with my very supportive husband for twelve years now. I have a bachelors and masters degree. I work full time, but I am not in my field yet, if ever. The economy is not the greatest where I live. I also have self doubt about whether I can handle the stress in my career. I'm on Intermittent FMLA, and I usually go on med leave once a year but this last year has been good, cross my fingers. So I miss about two days a month. Everyday is pure hell. I don't handle stress, but I guess I do because I'm still working. I'm scared I will one day break. I'm having trouble finding a therapist, I really need coping skills so this doesn't happen. Medicines only go so far. I feel I'm high functioning because I was able to obtain my degrees and I still work, but does that really define high functioning? I don't know. I just keep pushing forward.
