You know, I have never once thought of my bipolar as a disability either.

You know, I have never once thought of my bipolar as a disability either. For you it may not be but if can be for many sadly. Some can't find the right combo of meds or have other issues.

I can understand that. It just wouldn't occur to me to check the box that I have a disability. I don't feel like it impacts my ability to do my job so it's not something I would need any accommodations for. Hope that explains it better. I do have a lot of sympathy for people who aren't well-controlled. Once upon a time, I was like that. And it seems like every so often, my meds stop working and I go through another round of changes. So I totally have empathy for those who are struggling.

I read Amy Purdy's book and she said she doesn't feel that missing two legs makes her disabled. Missing a limb was also listed under the disability section. Amy did say that her legs (which she owns many of) are extremely expensive.
