The one thing that gives me fulfillment in life is teaching. Watching kids learn and being part of that process is what keeps me going. It’s what gives me the strength to get out of bed and take my meds and it makes me want to be a better, more well-rounded human being. It is humiliating that the person who has to sign off on my health form is someone who doesn’t know me, my medical history, or how much I love the work that I do. If my nervous habits were hidden I would not be having this issue. Am I just supposed to hide my depression and anxiety so people will think I’m trustworthy? This is why it is so fucking hard to deal with living in a society where mental illness is so heavily stigmatized. I am not dangerous. I am not suicidal or homicidal or have violent tendencies. I just get super sad and anxious and teaching is the only thing that brings me joy enough to make the sadness go away. I can’t lose out on my chance to do what I love just because of one person’s medical opinion. I can’t I can’t I can’t.
