The overwhelming majority of my posts aren't related to my disability. It's only mentioned when necessary, just like you with your anxiety state. People need to be informed about any disabilities where it's relevant so that they can take it into account and avoid any discrimination.
There was once someone on here who kept getting berated for his spelling mistakes. He couldn't help it because he was dyslexic and had to keep on telling people this time and time again.
Would you say that he was using his condition to 'get off' with making spelling mistakes? Would you say that the repeated remarks about spelling mistakes, despite people being made aware of his dyslexia, was discrimination?

I'm sorry to hear about your partner, i imagine that this form of cancer is particularly awful. I've mentioned her in my prayers.
