What I suffer from can't be fixed. I have schizoaffective disorder a mental illness that makes it hard to work much less remember things. Before I developed it I was a 10x programmer and a super debugger.

Here is a definition of my mental illness: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/schizoaffecti...

Employers do not like me having it because it makes it harder to do work and some days are worse than others. Management just doesn't understand my mental illness so I am on disability because I cannot hold down a job.

Your condition sounds really challenging. I'm sorry you have to suffer from it and I truly wish you well.

Thank you not everyone is understanding. Less than half a percent of the population in the USA suffers from it so it isn't a priority for doctors to treat and cure. I am on psychiatric medication for it but it makes me drowsy.
