Well I don't think because of my condition I have had for 51 years is going to stop me getting done what I have to take care of, If it is of importance, I also prioritize the things I have to, there is a time or two I might miss doing a important thing, but not usually, I'll try and make up for it and put it 1st, doesn't happen often but does, and when it does I usually have a good reason for putting it off, once in while I'll miss doing something on purpose but not often, I have had that happen, my opinion,

Not me. I get so bored sitting around the house so when something comes up for me to do I’m on it.

Yup! I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression since 2015 and was fairly stable for a while until getting my diagnosis of epilepsy in 2019. While not really due to the seizures and epilepsy itself, but all the side affects, having my life completely change and having to move back in with my mom, and how I am now treated basically like a child has affected my depression a lot. I am doing online school right now and even with my disability form that allows me extra days I struggle with getting my work done because I just don’t feel like it.
