I have had PD now since 2012.I feel like a shell of who I once was Pd is very intimidating, depression is hard to shake most days.I feel as though I have no purpose
Pearl, What you express is not uncommon for PwP’s of which I am one for the last 3 years. It does not get much better in my opinion. You do have a significant purpose. You will find it. Your honest expression of helplessness
