Thank you for spreading the word.

A big problem for us with how modern day employment works is that these employers want us employees to revolve our entire life around the job without allowing us to take a day or two off or switch our schedules if we get overwhelmed.

It's even worse for those of us with a mental illness because if our symptoms are bad on a given day, we need to be able to take time for ourselves in order to practice self care to be at our best. Unfortunately, it's either corporate America's way or the high way and the system needs to be changed dramatically from the inside out.

I would start by allowing employees to pick their own schedules as well as allowing them to call in sick more often or take more vacations so that way those of us with a MI can get our much needed self care time without having to disclose our MI to the employer not to mention, having a system like that in place would allow everybody who works a full time job who doesn't have a MI live happier lives which in turn, means more productivity and less employees developing MI later in life.

People like us are destined to spark change. We need a modern day revolution to change the system not just in America but throughout the world.

We need a paradigm shift. Only then will the world be better for us.
