Thanks guys.
Since I've been more open with my parents (no small feat) they tend to praise me for my "brave fight". Unfortunately, I can't agree with them. I know I have illnesses and I try to remember that. However to me that doesn't change the fact that I'm incredibly disappointed with myself. I can reconcile the "should haves" better than the "could haves". For instance, "I could have not quit that last crappy job" or "I could have stuck up for myself more" and so on.
Mark, I want to do the exercize on value clarifiaction. As soon as can work through it, I'll post on how it's going.
Now, I'd like a Master's degree. Even if it doesn't get used, or gets underused, it's a huge achievement and is not to be taken lightly.
