I wish I could offer advice. With my condition I am well qualified for disability but I choose to have independence, even if it takes 110% more effort than others just to keep up with everyone's pace, and because of my condition it makes holding a job so much harder. I have hit a major milestone of 6 months of working at my current job and still wanting to work there and still happy to work and my bosses still happy for me to work there despite my ups and downs, six whole months!

It's impressive to stand up for yourself when others complain and lay low. I'd be proud to have that rare quality.
