Help When does mental illness become a disability?

[sgifeei]

So, I had a lot of shit going on. I had anorexia and bulimia, I abused alcohol and meds (still do sometimes), I have severe anxiety and depression, medication dont seem to work (so far) for anxiety other than benzos that I abuse whenever I get my hands on them. I barely go to university, I mean I do but since my condition became severe I barely pass or fail my exams.

According to maid go fuck yourself if youre mentally ill.

As if it's not just as debilitating and painful. Cortisol and adrenaline constantly coarsing through your veins completely preventing you from functioning. Years, doesn't matter.

Horse shit

In my thoughts it depends on country/state/province the like.

I guess it depends on your context for disability. Legal disability, socially acceptable disability etc...

I have just about everything you have, so I understand. I have nobody to help me so I can't allow my true feelings to hinder me or I'll be homeless again. I guess if you keep getting fired from jobs and doing everything the Dr's are telling you to do, then apply. Its best you start keeping a log of everything and dates that you're trying and simply can't do it.
