what is wrong with you?

if I wanted to do that I'd gripe about the synesthesia.

it seriously makes some sensations unbearable.

 

what really pisses me off is people who arent really disabled....and they play the whole "woe is me"..."I cant work because I have pain"...collect the pension game.

 

It's not unlikely at all. I think when you get married, you're family, love becomes unconditional.

 

Technically the way the ADA (americans with disabilities act) has been rewritten, I'm disabled now

I want a job, I can work, I should be working

but I appreciate the protection it gives me because I've been in danger of losing my job from seizure induced absences (was on the phone with a co-worker, being called in on my day off, the call fucked my sleep schedule, and as I was talking to him, went into a seizure, was mad gay)

and now if I miss a day because my brain turns into fried eggs on toast for 24 hours (or a hair more) I can't get fired for it

but I still want to work. NEED to work to be happy.

 

seizures=disabled in my books

Canada (ontario) has a lousy system...half the people on ODSP are working somewhere for cash under the table

 

well the hardest part of it is the risk of suddenly losing my driver's license.

I'm honest with my neuro, so when I have a seizure, no driving for x period of time (three months here, six months in texas, indefinite in california, etc.) and with employers who won't, or can't flex to that.

and me not being that fucking douchebag who plays the game (like demanding that they flex to it and if they make my work time there unpleasant at all making their lives hell) even though, I recognize I might have to start playing the game to actually be able to find people who I can work with who won't discriminate against me, or have a job that I've earned.

 

so are you cursed or are we...

 

I'm not sure if I insulted you...but what I meant by "game"...was more like people who lie...not people who use the rules to their advantage.

 

Oh yeah, and I don't doubt that in the slightest.

It's just hard for me to believe it and accept it.

 

Motorcycle-crash knees,spine like a drunk snake,just had a foot of aorta replaced-factory parts with numbers installed-- and the worst of all---OLD!.

 

I am ALWAYS right and everyone else is ALWAYS wrong, do you have any idea what that feels like? I have to put up with it on a daily basis. It's fuckin hard always being right about eveything!

 

You're wrong

 

lmao

 

Sort of. I was going to say, I think I could deal with L.A. --- but, probably not.

 

i don't speak for everyone.

i AM everyone.

 

true. when you are here, i'm just everyone else.

 

i'm you.

sometimes.

 

Osteoarthritus, a bad disc, bursitis in the knees, some scars, ptsd, anxiety... social & generalized...
edit> Oh, I see everyone else listed their poor eyesight, now that I've had time to read the thread... I'm very nearsighted also, but I wear contactcs and don't think about it much.

Guess I'm glad that list isn't longer.

 

I'm a woman

 

I have epilepsy.

My hair feels a little lifeless lately. I'm trying out new mouses and stuff.

I have a 30cm long vertical scar on my thigh. I got it after climbing down a tree and a nail went into my leg as I fell downwards.

My right arm/hand is quite smaller than the other. Sometimes it aches.

The right side of my brain is also a little smaller.

According to some people, I have a lisp.

I cant pronounce the word "literature" correctly. I say "lich-a-chah"

I am allergic to hip-hop, Beyonce and RNB.

When I crouch onto my knees, they make a clicking sound.

When I wake up in the morning, my voice sounds like a zip.

At times, I can be rather covert in the ways I express myself. I tend to do it in a roundabout way. A bit of ego involved I've been told I am quite insubordinate at times, and will deliberately do the opposite of whatever a person expects me to do, just to prove I will.

That's about it so far, I think.
