>>482438 Depression and other disabilities aren't always caused by traumatic events like the ones you listed. My brain was just a little fucked up when I was born, and there's nothing they can do to permanently fix it. And the conditions that you say can be controlled? No, they can't. They can be monitored and maybe manipulated a bit, but they cannot be completely controlled. Trust me, I've been on about every medication they've created for these conditions.
If you look at me, you can tell there's something not right. I twitch all the time, pick at my face and scalp and ears until they bleed sometimes. I'm obese because I compulsively eat to comfort myself because if I'm not feeling well, at least I can have some enjoyment in eating food. And I am working on it. Like I said, I'm going to therapy, I'm taking Prozac and Welbutrin, and I've started Overeaters Anonymous.
And I know that I wouldn't be able to make it in the real world the way I am now. That's why, while I may complain sometimes, I'm very grateful that my parents are allowing me to stay at home while I work through this. As for the medical field, for some reason, I'm completely able to separate my personal feelings from work. Always have been able to. So I don't see that being a problem.
And I am trying my hardest to work on it. I know I can fix it, I just keep hitting bumps and get discouraged easily. But...I AM working on it.
