How does this sub feel about it?
Bonus rambly vent below
I have a diagnosed disorder i will not disclose and I am (mentally, though obviously high functioning) disabled
I have sensory issues, auditory processing issues, I get overstimulated very easily, I disassociate among other things
I have so far mainly worked in fast food and you can imagine how that works out for someone like me
I try to explain how certain things effect me and try to compromise a way I am not as overwhelmed and freaked out
You can all probably guess how this turns out a majority of the time
Maybe I'm just sensitive or stupid for ever thinking an employer would ever give a shit about mental health
I'm exhausted trying to pretend I'm not struggling
I'm just confused and frustrated at the lack of empathy
I tend to not tell people directly that I'm disabled because of the fear of judgement or pity (one time I told someone who was trying to help me find a job and she immediately started baby talking to me)
I'm sorry for the pity party, I just wanted to share my thoughts in a place I think some can understand
It's not just the disabled and mentally ill who aren't cared for
