Re: Do you let your disability get in the way of your life? - April 18th 2013, 12:59 PM

Well, I have ADHD and issues with anxiety, so obviously when I am really stressed out or something it can affect me a little but overall I can manage it. It's definitely not as hard as being legally blind. Its inspirational to hear you are so positive about it.
Would you say that despite being legally blind that your capable of having a job and such? I ask because I have another friend who is legally blind and doesn't work and lives off of disability. It kind of bothers me because I feel like she IS capable of having a job, it would just have to be one that accommodates her issues (and I can think of a number of them) and I have never felt comfortable contradicting her choice not to work (because I can understand her need to be positive that she can afford her medications for other health so she'd need a good paying job and/or a job with health insurance) but i've just always wondered if it WOULD be possible for her to work and it sounds like you might be able to relate the most
