I feel extreme guilt for not working more, but throughout my illness I have always tried to at least work part time. I do a lot of volunteer work too.
Yet I dont feel proud as I would if I could work full time.
If not working how do you support yourself? Is this a major stressor?

I haven't really ever had a job. I am always stressed out about it because I want to contribute more. I'm 22 and have a 1 year old daughter. Her dad / my bf works and pays the bills. On a good day I think I'll do something great with my life and be successful and I'll start looking for jobs. Before I even go for an interview I will have an episode change and think there's no way I can do this. This is even with my medications. I applied for disability and then had a very ambitious day and cancelled my application. I can't even do that part right lol.
