I don't like illness as identity. I don't believe this helps people. Using a common symbol is inviting employers and others to prejudge you and possibly discriminate against you. This IS how I offer support, by being honest about one potentially harmful outcome of doing this.
I'm not criticizing the OP, I'm offering food for thought. Agreeing with people does not always equal support.
