Acknowledging limitations and impairments is not bringing us down. It’s lifting us up. Don’t be so quick to trash your fellow man. You might find you’re the one that needs the crutches one day. And you’ll appreciate that you’ve been given the opportunity to do your best work while figuring out how to navigate with those crutches.
Looking at the first two commenters it's amazing how people that clearly have no mental inhibitions or issues or experienced such can be so amazingly stupid and ignorant of actual issues. You don't tell a guy with a bad leg to just walk or someone with bad eyes to just look.
There's a wide variety of severity. I have a nephew with it that without meds can't sit a focus on something he's not interested in at all. I have add myself and have needed to pace for half an hour or more fighting an uphill battle against myself just to do some basic tasks I didn't want to do.
The human body and brain specifically is an absolute disaster as far as forming "right". There's a reason there are multiple fields of study based around the brain, the brain can form in many different ways that can result in a wide variety of effects from good to bad. Just because the severity of your issues was manageable through basic will power doesn't mean it's able to be dealt with that easily for everyone and thinking it is is just ignorant in so many ways.
Mental illness is very real. Many tasks or responsibilities can be difficult for some. If you don't do your job your not going to survive. If you have a bad leg you need a crutch or a wheel chair or you cannot feed yourself.
And part of moving forward is figuring out and acknowledging those impairments. No one in the original message suggested that they weren’t working and getting their jobs done respectably. You have to understand your barriers so you can know what sort of crutches you need.
Hearing messages like the one presented can be really meaningful for people who struggle with that issue and haven’t pin-pointed it.
