(1) I am really looking for an apartment, not a room. But I think the same problem is there in either case.
(2) Yes, it is against the law to discriminate in housing on the basis of disability and race. But I think such discrimination is RAMPANT. So, I am very intimidated.
(3) I just never tell anyone that I have a psychiatrist illness and that I am on disability for it. Never. I just think it scares people, especially since I am a man. I think females don't scare people as much, since the mass shooters are always male.
(4) But now I am finding it impossible to go and apply for an apartment. I am frozen. I can't talk about my disability. I think I'm never going to find an apartment whether I make applications or not.
