No I don't have any issues that interfere with daily life. I have been to a neurologist about my problem & he basically said it's in My head.
My job is both mentally & phyisically taxing. That's one reason I like it because it keeps my mind busy. If I goto IPP then that means i will have to go out on disability. Most likely Short Term. If I do that then they (the disability insurance company) has to know why. When I went out 4 1/2 years ago I found out, the hard way, that if you have depression you are no longer able to drive a truck for 6 months. If you're suicidal I'm taken off road for a year, then reevaluated. True I can't be fired for medical reasons but I can be cut from 45 hours a week (what i currenrly get) to 17 hours a week if I'm lucky.
I am 39 (not that much younger than you). In a way my problems are age related. I have been dealing with it for most of my life and now it's gotten to the point where I can't keep it inside and hidden anymore.
