    Financial rights and stigma are a problem in the USA plus legal repercussions like firearms for self-defense when statistically everyone fears you creating mutual distrust in society as a whole. Big pharma uses you as a lab rat and conservators/guardians try to rob you. There are also privacy problems in the medical industry since health care is not prioritized in the nation's defense budget...

    i don't really like life in general and think if i am going to be treated like shxt because people pay for me then they should pay for me to not exist if i wish it.

    bodily autonomy should include self termination even if mental health issues are why.

    and yes the world needs more rights to be enforced, like the right to like what every you like no matter what and to express it so long as they way you're doing it is not hurting anyone

    I am disabled, so speaking from that point of view, I feel life is an adventure.  We have the same rights as anyone else, the difference is how society treats us.

    How disabled people feel about life in general is the same as how non-disabled people feel about life in general.  It varies from individual to individual.  You are either a happy personality or you aren't.   You are either an introvert or an extrovert.  You either make the best of what life has to offer you or you don't.

    How one person with bipolar disorder feels about life might be nothing like what another person with bipolar disorder feels, etc.

    While I am usually in pain due to arthritis (some days better than others) and my bipolar disorder has had negative effects on my life, I am very thankful for what I do have and there is much that I enjoy.  I focus on what I enjoy.  I'm not inclined to moan and groan about aches and pains (well - not much anyway and even then I might say something like "Today's not a good day for the knee and back" and let it go at that).

    I enjoyed good health right up to 1975 and my life changed in a major way - and not for the better.  I take each day one at a time.  I could have been very depressed and discouraged had I thought in 1975 that I would be spending the rest of my life in pain but I don't think that way.

    I like the Serenity Prayer.  Although I am not an addict, I think that prayer is a good one for everyone.  It helps keep life in perspective.

    As for "equal rights."  I don't see the problem but it would have been helpful if you had given us an idea of what you mean and what problem it is you are experiencing.  If you are referring to the work environment you can either do a job or you can't.  It shouldn't be any different for the disabled IF the employer is able to make accommodations which would enable a disabled person to do the job.  Employers are not always in a position where they can make those special accommodations in which case they would have no choice but to let the disabled worker go just like they would anyone else who can't do a job.

    "More equal rights" ?

    Orwell wrote a book about this very subject.

    More equal rights? What rights don't disabled people have now that others have?
