> Wow you sound a lot like me. I have C-PTSD which is also anxiety spectrum. I have always found it difficult to work and communicate with people on a daily basis without putting my foot in my mouth, or having a really bad day and getting fired. Mental illness sucks. Really.
> Throw in chronic fatigue and what could be fibromyalgia, and it becomes really hard to get a job and keep it.
> But I also consider myself too high functioning to take disability.
> Im also really afraid of winding up on meds that make me seem weird (I was inpatient at a young age and that traumatized me to being 'broken') or slow me down so much I cant enjoy life.
> Wish I had an answer.. =(
>Yeah, I feel caught between a rock and a hard place. My mind and wit are my only assets - neither of which tend to end up preserved on meds. Without either I'm just some quiet weirdo.
