Loopy Lou, I am impressed with your commitment to working. And yours, Nicholas & Court, and lots of folks who posted earlier.
I would very much like to be a productive, earning member of society too. Since that isn't possible for me right now, I want to think about leading a purposeful life in less conventional ways--maybe volunteering, like you have said, but also focusing on myself (what?! can I DO that? tee hee) for a while so that I can improve my well-being. Maybe then I'll be able to work eventually, but even that's kind of beside the point. I want to find ways to live more in harmony with this condition. I don't mean giving in to it--more like acknowledging it and choosing to approach my life with gentleness and peace as much as possible. It's very difficult.
This forum is great, by the way. Thanks for listening, everyone.
