Hello, Turiya!

Welcome.

I was also diagnosed with major depression - from age 25 through 33 when I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I'm now 48. I also have been taking stock of my life and where I'm going and where I've been. My 40's really have rushed by and it will only get worse. Sometimes it feels like being bipolar is my "job". And I never had a career. I tried going to college in my 30's but my brain just couldn't memorize things fast enough. Then again, I was good at sociology and life course theory! I wish all the nursing classes could be that way. The older I get the more I am sad that I don't have a job. I am on disability and its good to have an income but its such a small income that I can afford my monthly bills but little more.
