I'm relatively new here, and noticed your post. What an inspiration. I don't know many, in fact one other person I know works a forty hour, and loves it. She seems to do well handling her BPD. It is a great thing to share your story to inspire others. Before I was diagnosed, I was successful in real estate sales, a model, I stoped when my mom died, started therpy and was in crisis, two years later I was diagnosed. I lost interest, and became very stressed out. I later became a LMT-massage therapy, and started my own company. I was in an abusive relationship which further fueled my BPD, and became very ill with other health issues. left that relationship, got out alive!Between all of these crisis, a Doctor suggested I sekk SSI, because I had lost everything, no money, no home....devastated. I got on SSI, and it was a life saver, although barely enough to eek by without the help of friends. The insurance has been a lifesaver, I actively use the system to get medical care, although my Pysc Doc, and counsel, I pay separate. I haven't had much luck with their pysc system. I have not been able to work a regular job since then. Although I am much better, I have to regulate my stress level to stay sane, and keep my other genetic health conditions from flaring up. I think it is a great thing that you have been able to work as long as you have, and are in a helping profession, that as you refered to are helping to save others, while saving your own life.Thanks for the inspiration.
