I filed for disability this past summer on the basis of my bipolar and my arthritis 2* being severely overweight. I can't hold a job.....I'm too scatterbrained and anxious. I can no longer multitask nor manage competing priorities, I get overstimulated and become irritable, and EVERY work environment seems to be fast-paced these days (like employers are proud of that!). I can't stand and walk for very long. I can't reach over my head or climb ladders.....there's a whole list of "I can't" and it just pisses me off. I don't like being this messed up both physically and mentally. But it is what it is.
