In the USA there have been strides to ensure anyone with any form of disability has equal access and equal opportunities. However, even with strides, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, Fair Housing Act, Rehabilitation Act, and provisions in the Affordable Care Act, many individuals with disabilities still face barriers and/or limitations, be physical , communication, transportation, or even social and policy barriers/limitations... so, let's discuss this topic... 

Do you have a disability? What barriers or limitations do you experience because of an inadequate/non-existent accommodation or understanding? How can these barriers or limitations be removed or improved upon?

Idk how this works

I'm Soo tired 

I read about depression on a post and bc I Wana be a duck(quack)

I wonder if I I just looked it's macuna something starts with a p..ymthey call it the dopabean it's a staple food in some other country the seeds are what I'd likely order I've stalking them for a bit reading

They put it in smoothie s I hear....they are studying it for Parkinson's..to help cure..it's like feeds the dopamine..so I've been looking for ways to help get off my medication s bc they're toxic the side effects ECT and it's really hard and I can feel so bad I lash out I could start afight with a complete stranger accidentally when I don't take my dum meds bc my dopamine's seratonins are accustomed to being fedwith perscriptions Wich I never advised the doctor s did so just saying I love the study of herbal healing and I wondered if this tidbit I'm considering would help anyone at all

I struggle they say ADHD I sopose but they guess and it depends on Wich doctor so..I was born allmost dead I couldn't breath and they put a broken oxygen mask on me so ..I sopose I'm different..lack of oxygen can cause brain damage so idk I allso got hit by a car at 13 and have a few concussion s from dv..it's not something you'd think about but hard to ignore after being asked to leave classes basically failing out of every Junior high highschool trade school.. cosmetology computer  classes asked to leave every job I've had and I showed up and I'm nice..so sure a brain scan would explain something probably..but who can afford that so alltho an explanation would be amazeing I just get vague guesses bc nobody really cares but they did give me disability assistance when I was sleeping outside after my x husband blablabla.. doesent matter..so there's apparently apparent problem s k I'm rambling I was waiting for my cutie pie boy so we can jump on a bus schools should be more aware of hidden disabilities bc cosmetology cost a lot of money I went the whole year full time repaid to continue and then she said no she would never pass me..no refund 🤪

They need to make it easier to get disability some people need it. I was told I cant because I haven't worked in awhile I had neck surgey then had my family. Two years ago I was digonasted with stage 4 oviarian cancer 6months after chemo the cancer came back in my liver now I am on chemo pills for life. I cant work I am tiered a lot and helping raise 5 children is harder I cant even get an aide to help me with house work and cooking I lowered my meds because they made me too tired. I can get onto one of the disability but my husband would have to divorce me or his income would have to be less than 1.200. a month.

@mr1964 Yes, there should be mental health days. When I was working I was lucky - my place of employment allowed for one paid mental health day every month. If we didn't take them they were tacked on to our vacation time. It was a pleasure to not have to lie about being sick in order to get a day off if I wanted to do something instead of going to work - like attending a movie premiere or a one-day-only sale.

@Vickyvapor I use CBD for that. Research it. It is so helpful. Because I have gotten such good results having used it for over 2 years. I sell it to help others.  It is amazing but not all CBD is created equally. This is so compliant. Hemp authority seal and a 2 month money back guarantee. I don’t usually share this way but you would love it.  find me on FB donnaLathamklonowski. I swear I wouldn’t be walking without it

Hello to all my friends! I have worked with people who have disabilities, and I have been a advocate for 20 years. I have many disabilities and I have two adult boy's who have learning disabilities as well as i do...I feel for each and everyone of you. Yes I feel that everyone should be able too have a disability day off...It can really do people some good...Every place of emploment should have ways that if you are confind in a wheel chair, they should a ramp. 

There are so many sorry excuses of people who don't care or they do but their's hands are tied. So I do understand in how this upsets all of you....I hope that this help's if anyone needs to talk you may message me....
