what's your disability?

"and then mix that with a vodka mixture of a huge increase of heart rate, shakiness, possibility of crying, not wanting to eat. It's the initial leap from my feat that gets me anxious, but then it slowly disintegrates" Ded.. Such an epic description! Reminds me of Deathnote's potatochips scene XD

Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, I'm dumb, clingy, possessive, somewhat obsessive, and I cover it all up with as much sarcasm as I can possibly manage. :D

@mango Oh wow, I'm pretty much the same way. I hate people but I do get lonely though.

I have insomnia depression anxiety dyslexia and dyspraxia and some sort of mental health disorder the way certain things make me stressed... A few months ago I was doing forklift training and because of my dyspraxia I couldn't coordinate the machine properly and I warned the instructor in advance about it he was like its fine then on my second day he failed me and emailed my.work coach saying my disability was a disease I felt discriminated against and was so embarrassed and upset and humiliated My depression led to the fear of lois in friends or people I care about or when I try help people and they throw it back in my face and make me out to be a bad person because they didn't like certain information from a situation I tried to help them with and it Hurts like hell cause I feel like its all my fault even though I knew nothing of a situation I only gathered information and another thing that triggers my depression is when people talk about a certain ex of mine because she had supposedly had a miscarriage with my child but I have other people telling me she had an abortion behind my back I don't who is telling the truth my ex has a history of lying and I'm just like "please just stop I'm never going to get closure in it so just stop bringing it up" Anxiety I don't hate people I'm a fairly socially active person but I hate having to go out a lot i feel like alway have to put a fake smile when I go out and socialise cause I been emotionally damaged I'm scared to get close to people in a sense thats what triggers my anxiety also I just want to try talk to people I have fell out with again I miss people and just want to make amends online and irl I can come across as being really tsundere being hostile at the start of a friendship then if you can get pasthe that I'm sure we can become great friends T^T Depression strike number 2 When friends fall out I never take sides i always listen to both sides of the story in a non bias way but I hate it when people try make me choose sides and upsets me Dyslexia I can read and talk fine but I don't have the best of hand writing so I hate filling out application forms

Fran, You sound a lot like me, excluding the dyslexia. I was only ever diagnosed with clinical depression/OCD/Anxiety issues, but I hate to actually sit back and blame mental disorders for my problems. It just feels like a crutch when I do that. Thus, I put on a plastic face and slowly lose my grip on the inside.XD

My disability is that I am under the Autism Spectrum Disorder. The treatment I am going through socially is through the Special Olympics organization where I play bowling as a sport.

I wouldn't consider it a disability per se since I function perfectly fine for the most part but I have a high functioning form of autism called Aspergers (which to those who don't know is named after Hans Asperger, an Austrian pediatrician, medical theorist and professor which is why it's called that in the first place, something I get teased about quite often since it has a "silly" name out of context) which... well, it means a lot of things, really, but a common misconception a lot of people seem to have is that it correlates to being stupid when that is most certainly not the case. You could never tell I have it based on conversation alone unless I go into info-dumping my interests (like anime for example; I'm basically a walking encyclopedia of anime/manga based knowledge), acting a bit robotic in tone or expression, having strong bouts of emotion (occasionally I'll also do this thing called "stimming" where if I get too excited, overwhelmed, etc. I have a tendency to do some kind of physical tick with my hands but I kind of try to hide it out of embarrassment sometimes ha ha), or a couple other tells that sort of give me away, but I'm perfectly capable of doing most things others can do despite days where I feel too much and become way too overwhelmed to do much of anything.
