yeah, rip.
sometimes i think about how great it is to be able to see and hear and have all my limbs still attached and it makes me respect those that don't.

i am legitimately interested and this thread is not a honeypot to give you a black triangle.

They thought I had schizophrenia 10 years ago and I'm still considered fully and permanently disabled. It was anxiety disorder and I'm better now. So I'm not really disabled but it sucks

That depends on the nation in question. In the US it's something like, "Greatly impairs one or more major areas of function." Of note is that it doesn't have to be constant, or in effect at the moment, it just has to cause a problem when it is active.

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
Well I have this little problem called being a goon and then a worse one, "gbs poster". I do all right though. At first I used to pretend that one day I'd go back to normal and everything would be fine but it's been ten years now and I've just accepted my new limitations. Life can still be ok with crippling disabilities, humans are adaptive creatures. Sure, I start masturbating when people gently caress themselves over, and smile + say "hello old friend" when I see stretched man anus instead of screaming and clawing out my eyes. It sure marks me as different but my friends are wise enough to see the strength in diversity. Like, if we were all in a car wreck and people needed help to get out, but these was a dude stretching his anus in our faces, I'd be the only one there who would be capable of mustly ignoring the anus and doing what needed to be done. As for the retarded streams of manure that constantly flow from my lips and fingertips, everyone is used to it and I hear more compliments for my fedoras than I do complaints about my incessant idiot-babbling.

No.

I have uncontrollable seizures, often several times a day. Yet due to the arcane nature of the law, I do not qualify for any form of disability payments. And due to the nature of my epilepsy, I can't work. But I do have the parking placard.
