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. |
You are my twin.
My biggest thrills come from parsing Constitutional law with injury, bankruptcy, &etc., attorneys. Oh, and arguing with my landlord’s ‘lawyer’ - she has the night-school degree but could never pass the bar. She’s an idiot.
I’ve a few more ‘problems’ than you (and, gosh, we’re here to add to our lists of diagnoses, right?) but, no, I could not work in any environment, now.
I question my ability to catch happiness. I’m fine, I am well. I appreciate old and new friends; differently. But chasing happiness? That would be as pointless as Chasing Amy.
