I made accomplishments before my bp symptoms really started (age 36). Graduated college and had decent jobs. I was no longer able to hold a job. I had to fight hell and high water to get my disability. Now I'm suck with just running errands for my disabled aunt. She's wheelchair bound. I'm afraid to do volunteer work for fear SSA will misinterpret that as being able to work. So now when my SAD starts I get down on myself thinking about the past and what I can not have. I hoped to go back to school for my masters degree but that will not happen anymore. I do understand how you feel
