I agree with those here who point out that this sounds like depression. Whether it's a psychological reaction to the limitations imposed by PD or a chemical state induced by PD, it ought to be addressed - pills or therapy, whatever works. Has this been done? You say "... In my career, I worked prodigious hours with intense self-motivation . . ." A problem with depression is getting up the motivation to deal with it. It sounds like a challenge you have the ability to handle. Phil Tompkins Hoboken NJ 60/9
