Mental and emotional disorders are a huge impediment to employment! I've been fired because of the trouble I had getting along with people I worked for (in my case the conflicts were with supervisors - usually because I called them on things they were doing wrong, but I would hold my discomfort in until it just kind-of exploded, and that wasn't good). These past couple of weeks that I've been trying to get a job - well, all summer actually, and longer than that - I've been wondering how people with mental and emotional disabilities ever manage to get a job at all, and I've been a little jealous besides impressed with some of the great jobs that some of the people here have. Issues like these keep a lot of people from getting education, training, and jobs, which in turn can quite often worsen the mental/emotional conditions and just make it harder and more discouraging. It can be pretty rough.
