Familiar feelings

I spent the first 30 years of my life going up and down - I would do well at whatever job I had, but then my seizures would keep me in bed for a few days and I wouldn't have a job. I ended up going on SSDI and moving back home with my parents. I took classes after that, and ended up with a Master's degree when I was 40. Ten years of good medical care had also reduced the frequency of my seizures. For the past six years I have been able to take care of myself with a rewarding professional career, but health problems popped back up a few months ago. I am in a much better position to deal with them professionally, but I recognize the same emotions I used to feel when health problems did this in the past. Other problems like finances, relationships, and friends have gone south as well. I don't want to go down that path again, and lose everything.
