I haven't managed to get back to full time work like I thought I would after working so many years. My last major episode cost me everything. Not a pity me, but you know how you always believe and try to get back to the 'person you used to be'. This time, well, I have finally learned that I will never be the person I was, and have to accept the person I am. That's been so true for work. Now my expectations are a low lower, as is my standard of living. But, we are still alive and moving forward, and I think that is the key. Sure, I'd love to be working full time again, because it does give you a buzz and a real sense of purpose that you only work out when you stop working, but now, well who knows, maybe the future me will be the best version of me yet.
Err, what as the question, working. Answered. I think.
What is your number one goal that you still work to achieve or regain despite your bipolar?
