If you have issues relating to people then how does one function effectively in a work enviroment?

It would be nice if I could apply for disability but I'm not sick enough. Which is suppose to be a good thing. The thing is - I don't want to be sick.

And when you have BPD along with some untreated learning disabilities it makes working REALLY hard.

Suggestions and support are most welcome
This week I'm going to take an active role in searching for employment. Wouldn't it be cool if you can write BPD on your resume -but have it be an asset?

Skills: BPD

Able to alert other employees immediately if there is a conflict. (Evidenced by giving others dirty looks, crying spells in the bathroom. Followed up by taking a sick day.)
