I've had to explain to important people in my life that, no, I can't just "look on the bright side." I will continue to need antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds. I could no more "try harder" to throw off these than a diabetic could try harder to produce insulin. Depression lies.

Actually a better one would be my ichthyosis vulgaris. I'll be able to move one day, but I'll never have normal skin. I'm tired of scrubbing. Bath times are chore. My feet are always cracked and the skin gets so built up I need a blade.
I can't stand most warm fabrics that are common in this cold climate. Fleece, wool, flannel no way. It catches on my skin, it's intolerably itchy. My hands tend to crack. Allergic reactions pop up over random chemicals but I'm okay with some. I can hand acetone but not certain hand sanitizers. I break out in hives. It's been hell since 2020. I used to get painful, blistering heat rashes (but I think it was the latex gloves when I would wash dishes. I can't use latex.)
I got made fun of for having flakey skin and very wrinkled hands ( a common feature of ichthyosis vulgaris and it's known as hyperlinear lines). They used to get super dry and flake all in the lines.
I can't swim in chlorinated pools for too long (but I love the water so I endure it). Sand at the beach does NOT help with exfoliation. In fact, it makes my whole body flake.
When I was younger, up until my adulthood, I couldn't sweat as easily so I would overheat a lot. I thought it was normal for kids not to sweat.
As an adult when I sweat I get super itchy, and then I peel when I scratch.

The sun feels like tiny pins shooting into my skin on hot days.

People think it's gross and don't want to touch me. I'm suspecting this is why it's hard for me to find a job, too.

Although I'm female, I've generally held male dominated jobs like doing security work, warehouse work, building sites etc.

I f*****g HATE that this is such a novelty for so many people - men especially. I've been told I'm considered attractive too, which actually tends to make it worse.

For a while, I was working for a company as a plasterer and the boss decided to take me around to three different sites. Not to get me oriented, meet the team or survey the work I'd be doing - oh no.

He walked me round to see every single one of his boys just to declare that he had (God forbid) a female plasterer working for him and that come next inspection, the equality and diversity people could suck it. He also invited them all to ask me questions about myself and declared that 'such a pretty one' shouldn't be doing such dirty work. Then he bombarded me with questions about my training up until that point. Because I was a self-taught plasterer, he spoke to me as if I'd unlocked the secret to eternal life. I learned on my own volition? A woman? Good God, what is this madness?!

Never been so mortified in my life. Worked for them for four months before the guy started avoiding paying me and I got the Hell outta there. Like dude, I just want to do my job, go home and get paid like everyone else - wtf?

What I do when I have anxiety is tap my finger or thumb on my hand or a surface. Focus on the tap. It’s the only thing there. Tap. Tap. Tap. It takes away the anxiety (not completely or super fast, because nothing will) but if you focus hard enough it takes your mind off it. Hope I can help.

Having anxiety is awful, it really does distort reality. It tells your brain things that are just not true, but when it has a hold of you it is so hard to see it from the outside to realise the lie. I am just starting to get better through therapy (I finally found a great psychologist) and I can't believe how far from truth my thinking patterns have been.

My medical conditions and peoples opinions about them. I have a long list of problems, many of which are chronic - meaning they're never going away or getting better. I already feel bad enough that I can't do the things I want to, telling me if I tried harder to get better then I could do those things - just pisses me off! And just because you can't see my disability, doesn't mean I don't have one! I'd like to see some of them live with the pain I do on a daily basis! Yes, I have medications and pain pills, but they only do so much and I don't want to get addicted. Try learning about my conditions, do some research if you want to understand why I'm like this. But mostly, have compassion and be glad you don't have to go through this

You often have to pick your battles. Some people won't listen, or aren't ready to listen, so you just have to let them go for your own wellbeing. If there is someone who is unsure or open to listening then it is fantastic when you can get through to them and change their outlook but it is not your responsibility to constantly battle someone who won't change.

Autism.

I don't mind being autistic, what I do mind is it's a disability but no one cares. They still expect you to do everything exactly like anyone else. I'm decent at masking, but that's just hiding who I am. You can't really be my friend if I have to hide from you.

I have lots of ideas that I love to share. Unfortunately, because I can't easily relate to neurotypicals I'm incapable of selling anything. "Selling" in terms of ideas that is. I try. I study every aspect of relating to others but neurotypicals are full of contradictory behaviors that they don't see. Like playing hard to get. I understand the concept. It feels good to be wanted so much that someone is willing to work to get your affection. But you're rejecting the other person and that feels bad to them. There are a million other examples.

Although I am not autistic, my nephew is. His mother worker very hard with him to make eye contact when speaking with people he is comfortable with. One day, we were having a conversation, and I looked away for a minute. He called me on it, and I was proud of him. He is developmentally delayed as well, about age 8, although he is 33, and much smarter than a lot of "normal" people. I am so sorry that you can't find someone who "gets" you. I feel blessed to have my guy in my life. He is not related by blood, but closer than most of my family.

Eating. If I could get my nutrition out of a pill I pop that sucker and never slow down. It's to much trouble to cook it, eat it, put up the leftovers and then clean the pots and pans that you couldn't wash while you were cooking. I miss the days when I was only responsible for myself. At least then I could fix a sandwich and eat it over the sink.

I get what you mean about the exhaustion from cooking, cleaning and even the eating itself. I have had days where I was too tired to eat, even though the food was in front of me and my mum didn't understand why. I thankfully do live on my own, so if I don't eat it's not so bad, but I want to have kids soon so I will have to make sure they eat. I have been trying to get into the habit of cooking one-two meals a week and then eating the leftovers/other frozen meals the other days. If you really can't eat but need the nutrition Sustagen drink is pretty good. My sister used to drink it as well as having normal meals once a day because she was underweight and wasn't getting enough nutrients.

Oh, well, I have a list of correlated issues: being constantly misgender; hormones not working properly on my body and not one single doctor making the effort to figure out why; being incapable to work due to autism (I don't speak IRL) and brain damage and therefore not having the means to pay for better doctors ou surgeries. All the crap that comes with the mix of autism and PTSD, the never-ending guilt, the wish to leave this damn prision of a house that is slowly driving me insane but the lack of capability to do so. Brain damage that went undiagnosed for years due to medical prejudice blaming me not being able to walk on my weight meanwhile it's quite the opposite I'm fat cause I can't walk. Being unable to lose weight due to not being able to walk, and my weight not helping with hormones or the misgendering issue. Being constantly treated like I'm mentally r******d or a child just because I don't talk, while I have almost genius IQ (128). Plus to top it all off the whole fear and crap that comes with being LGBT+ in Brazil.

Apparently once you are beyond college aged, you are expected to be incapable of social interaction, learning, or fun. Can't play sports, games, read, or learn a new skill. Very weird.

My metabolism. Everything that is wrong with me today was caused by doctors screwing up 30 years ago. People always assume that if you're overweight, it must be because you're a lazy slob, even though it's been proved that many overweight people actually eat less than normal weight people. I just read an article that said that ALL mammals seem to be getting heavier, so something is going on besides over eating and sedentary living.(https://www.livescience.com/10277-obesity-rise-animals.html)
I am not sure how it became OK for people to make such assumptions about a person, just because of their looks. BP is filled with people who see a picture of an overweight animal or child and just assume someone is overfeeding (and feel the need to jump in and criticize)...but it might not be the case.

I don't know exactly what it is, but it sounds like a fan motor or blades, or ventilation pipes, but there's a constant tremor, vibration emanating all over my apartment. In some places it's intense, such as in the bathroom. It's never quiet in the bathroom to take a peaceful, relaxing bath. I've been sleeping with earphones for years (I just don't want to move). The fixtures rattle at times. Sometimes, on a very windy day, there's a bottle-blowing sound coming from somewhere close outside that echoes all over, even with the windows closed.
I've spoken to management about it several times. They gotten maintenance to inspect the roof and tell me everything is okay.
Sometimes one or both neighbours keep their bathroom fans on all night and day and I can't tell them to shut them off. I can hear them in the bedroom loudly when I'm trying to sleep, over my sleep music in my earphones.

I can't go to clubs, concerts, bars, restaurants or anywhere with fast flashing, blinking or strobe lights. I can't go to a movie theater or watch any type of "fast action" tv shows or movies (in the dark). I can't play 90% of console or pc games I like (so I watch streamers and/or friends play). I have to close and cover my eyes near P.D. blue lights in evening & night time (no I don't drive) plus I have to wait til I'm far away to uncover them. I wanted to join the USAF since I was 10 but at 12 knew I would have failed the physical. Although I've worked since I was 15 (except when recovering from injuries) I still can't work in many places/fields because I'm considered a major Liability. I've had more injuries, TBI's & concussions than entire NFL football teams. I'm not allowed to drive which is a good thing but I'm also not allowed live or go anywhere alone. I'm now 44, still working odd jobs to help support myself. Until 2016 I've never filed for disability but was denied 2xs. I have all the paperwork, records, Drs explain my main condition along with the issues I developed because of it, even my neurologist who specializes (22 years) in my condition testified. The SSDI "judge" said he has trusted a Dr as his consultant for 10 years tell "No one is going to pay her to have seizures" I have NESD (Non-Epileptic Seizure Disorder) & minor conditions that developed through injuries from seizures. It sucks & it's heart-breaking when you have no real life, freedom and privacy.

You should look into VNS. It won't get you driving probably but it could help with some of the other stuff. Sorry about the disability bs, you definitely should qualify.

But worse when you swipe back you have to scroll and load the items again to get back to your place. In your frustration you scroll the tiniest bit diagonal…..

People seem to be woefully bad at relationships, in general. There's only three options for most people: family you put up with, war-bonding(task related relationships), or sexual attraction. It's actually way more complicated, but people like their easy boxes, and get very angry if you won't fit one.

Dyslexia. I swear everyone tells me this learning disability will help me one day, but two failed chem tests because I read the entire thing backward doesn't help anything. I sometimes get lost while driving because I can't tell left from right, I can barely read my own handwriting, and learning a new language is nearly impossible! So far, I haven't found anything that can fix it

I have a problem with people saying 'x disability is actually an asset' because they make it sound like you should be grateful for the condition. You can learn a lot because you have a disability, in the way you have to deal with it, but the condition itself is still a b***h. I think it is more important to focus on what you can achieve despite the disability. You may always struggle with school work and not want to go to college, for example, but you might find your place in a particular workforce where it doesn't impede you and you can be really happy. I just hope you are able to get the support you need to achieve what you want. I know this can be hard, especially for things like dyslexia or autism because the system doesn't recognise what support you need. I don't know your situation but one of my friend's sons was dyslexic and has adhd and other things and his mum was able to make sure he had a scribe during tests and stuff.

When people message me (at work) just part of the message, then hit enter. They type multiple sentences, hit enter, then pause to type the next. So, I stop what I'm doing and wait (and wait) for them to type, which is a waste of time.

Oftentimes, I'm unsure when they are done typing and I can answer, so I have to wait a little longer to be sure they're done. Or alternatively, I start typing a response and we end up "talking over each other".

I've tried just ignoring it until they have not sent a new message in a minute or two, but often I just forget about it and I don't want to leave them hanging.

Please stop. Type the entire thing, then hit enter. You can even do Ctrl-enter or Shift-enter in almost all messaging apps to put a line break in there for readability.

I think we are all getting worse at this. Before the computer age, I read, all the time, day and night. Now, I can't read without distraction for more than a half hour, and I try but fail to sit through a two hour movie. I've gotten in the habit of skimming the headlines instead of reading the articles, and on the internet, I can sample 15 topics, instead of reading in depth about one. You've probably heard it before, but I think maybe less computer time = longer attention span.

My daughter's terrible boyfriend/fiance. They live with me, and I can hardly stand to be in the same room with him. I'm disabled due to chronic arthritis pain, back pain, and anxiety, and he can't wrap his head around what it's like to be older and have such severe pain that you can't stand up or walk for more than twenty feet at a time. Neither of them can. She used to understand somewhat, but he's turned her against me. He is constantly saying, in response to my pain, 'My gramma (who raised him) has terrible back pain and has a plate in her back, and she works full-time as a custodian.' Well, I'm sure she can obviously stand and walk a lot further than me. He's loud, he and she are constantly calling each other nonsensical little names (the most annoying of which is 'bubbie'), and they do this thing where they both have to say 'Umm' (and it's not "Umm' as in um i dont know, its umm like yum yum), to each other when they have to be apart and one of them is leaving. Every morning at four-thirty am he watches his anime programs with the volume so high that I can't believe the neighbors don't complain, all the while trading the nonsensical nicknames with my daughter and yelling things just to yell because apparently his life is so awesome he just can't contain it. And don't even get me started on the PDA. I can hear their lips smacking when they kiss in their room, which is next to mine. And he knows it is annoying, but does it just to needle me. He knows better, because for a while his gramma forbade him to bring my daughteralong to any of their family gatherings, even on holidays, because they just sat in the corner doing their little routine and not talking to anyone else. I used to think she was too hard on him, but now I know why. He needs clear boundaries stated and, a disciplinary system to keep him in line. I can't wait until they move out, if they ever do.
