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.
I so empathize with you. I worked hard to get my CPA license. At the time you had to get your masters so I got my MBA to get my CPA. I enjoyed it immensely but had to quit for many of the reasons you listed. It was a big loss to me at the time. ((((Hugs)))).
