Has PSTD been classed as a bona fide disability yet?
Recently I had to resort to parking in a underground carpark at night, a fair way away from the exits & elevators. Environments like this are a main trigger for an attack with me. I saw the disabled parking zones next to the elevator empty, and was tempted to park in them, but guilt took over that disabled people might need them. In the end I ended up not attending the function fearing it would trigger an attack (trust me... attending a function bathed in sweat & trembling isn't my idea of fun!).
It got me thinking... I was unable to attend because of a disability. And how many others go through the same thing?
Admittedly things like parking wouldnt be such an issue in a more visual parking area like a shopping center, but in some situations like above, it is very much an issue. And considering that there is so much parking undergound these days at function centers and entertainment venues ... should this be maybe something that should be addressed?
