I appreciate all of your responses and I understand that we all come from different walks of life. I have been through multiple 30-day rehabilitation programs, near death experiences in the ICU, and more visits to the ER to admit.
What I meant by my question about knowing one's limits had to do with my possibly being bipolar. I had an extended extremely successful time in my life. Young, making tons of $$, and then I crashed. This pattern has become so set in my life that I don't know where to start. When I'm feeling good, I feel capable to take on these big-time jobs and then when I get down, I crash - usually in a career devestating way. I recognize that I'm young and I can always change careers, but I feel so suicidal. Things that used to feel very easy for me, are now impossible. I don't see how a normal life is possible anymore.
