What's your disability?

Evois June 7th, 2016

I have a learning disability.

What is the most difficult part of your disability?
For me its being slow when my brain sometimes either moves toooo fast or not fast enough and I have to take longer on stuff.

@BrightRedFlower2322. I am sorry you had to deal with a very ignorant person, I have similar issues, my hands are in constant pain and sometimes can't grip anything, so I have dropped many items while taking out of the fridge , and broken glasses. People who don't understand have made me stronger, I like you point out that that , judging just makes them look stupid, I used to get upset, but realized that didn't help, good for you that you stood up to his ignorance!

I have major depression and anxiety (mix of things, namely panic disorder and social phobia). I'm considered disabled by social security. The hardest part is having the stamina/motivation to do things. Also not having enough money to be independent :(

I have trusting issues since I am 5 years old, I don't believe in love and that it's a good thing, I blocked and faked all my emotions for so long that I can barely feel them anymore but when I do I loose control of my entire body and emotions, I have some sort of back problem where after a while my spinal cord will just block and it stops my breathing and I can't move, I can talk to dead people that I was very close to so I've been called a crazy sicko very often, I am in a high levelled class and people often just assume that i am fine and that everything is great but they are way off, i can hide my emotions from every single person I meet which I find great. I often get asked like how are you suicidal and depressed if you've got everything and i dont know why.

@turquoiseFan8960 hi! Do you mind if I ask you what screen reading app you use? I have glaucoma, so blindness is in my near future, and my mom is completely blind. We're always looking for recommendations on good things for blind folks to go online with.

@PurpleForest

Hello! I'm a Mac/iPad/iPhone user, so I use VoiceOver which is built in. For Windows I think there are several options. JAWS is what most people use, but NVDA is quickly gaining popularity as it's open source and free. Hope this helps.

@turquoiseFan8960 that did, thank you. I have recommended the iPhone or iPad for my mom, it's good to know what else is available and what other blind folks like.
