    This can be very debilitating and it is so hard to even attempt to balance a "normal" life!

    Plz make this A legit disability. It's difficult to hold and maintain a job when you're in constant fear of whether you'll have a job tomorrow or not. Plus, you cannot keep up on bills.

    I was diagnosed in September 2015. Before diagnosis I was a school bus driver making just enough to survive. Since then I have been demoted to a bus monitor and a $300 pay reduction. I chose to continue to work for the school board because of the benefits and part time schedule but it's very hard for me to even keep food in the house with this salary and still not eligible for any other assistance. Please add this.
