Today one of my Dr. wrote a report for social security describing my limitations. He described me as having a "short fuse" and would take many more years of treatment and would never fully recover or overcome all my deficits.

I've heard that I will never be the same from other Dr.s before but it still hits me like a ton of bricks.

I will never fully recover. I will never get my old life back or be the person I was before.

I just feel like I am working so hard to recover - aiming at a goal I can never reach.

Being frustrated is an understatement. Sometimes I am so angry I feel like I can't stay in my skin.
