I think this is something I still have a lot of grief about.

When I got sick (18mnths ago) I'd just started running my own business doing something I loved and had learnt to do in recovery. While I still do some of this kinda work, it's only on a casual basis, and from time to time I see or hear adds on the radio/in newspapers in this field and I get upset. I just assumed that was where I'd end up - not sick and at home.

But I am lucky in the sense that I have a part time job (in sales) that is felxible, no pressure and I can pretty much please myself, and I work from home. The guy I work for is pretty good and knows my situation. I do have days where I think if I had to go out to work, I wouldn't be able to make it. And sometimes I just enjoy working because I forget about myself for awhile.
