I have felt disabled by my mental health. Sometimes I feel disabled by migraines and arthritis as well. Even though I am not technically disabled and I still work, I feel like the mental and physical conditions keep me from doing things I would otherwise do with ease. It is frustrating. It is frustrating to struggle to open a jar. It is frustrating to work in pain. Somehow I feel like the best answer for me is to learn to take my weaknesses and turn them into strengths. I would never choose this suffering but somehow maybe I can learn from what I have been thru and also understand how others feel and help other people.
