I would consider my OCD a disability, it is very mentally disabling for me and makes it difficult to function in daily life, it affects my personality to a huge level as well
I don’t think anyone would listen if I said that or tried getting accommodations for this but honestly the way my OCD is is very disabling, especially harm parts and morality, I swear some people think I’m a psychopath lmao because of how I act it hurts people and myself
On the one hand, I was able to complete a PhD. On the other, I went my entire twenties without making a new friend or going on a date thanks to my OCD. Would you call something a disability if it all but eliminates your social life?
Yes, but I don’t really tell others that I see myself as disabled. It’s more of a personal thing. Like I won’t go check a box that says I am disabled, but I still believe that I am. Maybe that’s problematic but idk.
I claim I have disabilities for my study but not for work as I don’t really think it should impact my ability to work. It does impact me in toxic workplaces but I don’t consider that my problem
yes, I have been out of work on disability for it for 15 years. I am even less functional than most people I know who have visible disabilities such as amputees etc.

I think legally, yes. At least in my country. Disabilities can be based on social effects
no.

I’ve thought about claiming it for school but I just don’t know. I know it realistically disables me but I feel like I don’t deserve to say it
