    I became physically disabled at 42, I’m 49 now. I was the main / usually sole provider for my family. I was pretty suicidal for a while and had a really really tough time adjusting. Midway through I was diagnosed with bipolar and medicated appropriately. I’m doing fairly well now and actually looking forward to the rest of my life.
