I'm an introvert, too! I don't think there's anything wrong with introverts.

To stay on-topic, I would be prefer to not be disabled. I worked hard in law school and it was expensive. I enjoyed being a lawyer but my bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders and chronic pain led to my being disabled. My career, my entire existence changed completely.

It's odd because intellectually, I can still legally analyze, etc. BUT, the working environment, the deadlines, the intense trials...the STRESS is disabling. It completely mentally destabilizes me, very severely. I don't think I can handle working any job, unfortunately, since bipolar and anxiety developed. I struggle just to even leave the house.

I do the best I can. I don't get depressed over it, however. I accept it and find happiness in my life in other ways.
