Berkley,
Don't let anyone make you think it's in your psyche. Who would CHOOSE to live like we do? I'd rather lose an arm, a leg, many other things over this! I am a prisoner from life.
Use your resources and get an advocate if you have to, but you stand up for yourself! You are not crazy or lazy!
My husband is my voice when mine fails.
Also, isn't your LTD a part of your benefit package? If you signed a contract with work you have a right to that benefit. Don't let them discriminate against you.
I wish this spirit was with me all the time. I sound quite tough don't I...it's easy when you have lots of time to think and next to no distractions.
Peace, STRENGTH, and wellness,
Jace
