Hi folks

I'm feeling very hopeless, which is not uncommon for me.  Once again I feel like I'm not functional enough to study, or work, or do anything of value. I've only ever worked part-time and even that was  too much on most days. I've tried to study on Open University (gaining entrance into tertiary education is very difficult in my country so universities offer some open courses that anyone can pay to take) but it is too much. My executive functions suck, which is common for BPD as far as I understand. Concentrating is so so so difficult.

I'm so scared I'll never be able to work. Life in poverty is so fucking stressful. But that's what its gonna be if I can't work. Endless stress about making ends meet. My future looks hopeless. And it is hopeless. There's no logical reason to believe it's not.

Anyone else here unable to work? Have some of you even overcome it and later been able to work after all?
