Otto Bock Prosthesis

I am a man age 53 has been officially declared disabled for nearly a decade. Never really cared much for labels, but if society government considers it important for reasons to put one on me, then indeed I am.

I had worked for two decades in many jobs, such as sales, marketing, public relations, media production and the like. It was hard for me to keep a job I had depression, at least that is what is "tagged" to have. I had been treated with antidepressants and psychotherapy for many years, but was not improving. Finally, they told me I could not work, he was "depressed."

Now I had a lot of time on my hands, so he began to study depression. Do not take me long to discover a disease called "TRD" or labeled by the psychiatric community, "the treatment-resistant depression. "I was one of the lucky few who received the only treatment for each of vagus nerve implant. You see, TRD is not really mental illness in itself, but a failure of the vagus nerve, of which I had, will mimic the symptoms of depression, lethargy, etc. After receiving treatment, my life took a drastic change.

Although I am still with the label "disabled" by many, I found that the Internet has leveling the playing field. I say half jokingly and with a bit of sarcasm, because, during my "depressed mood", I was very aware of the discrimination directed my way, although they were being discriminatory was not aware of my consciousness. I guess he thought that people with depression or any disability they have no conscience or intelligence. If the customer wants.

So I thought it was the end of the world when my days working in the business world came to an end.

How I survive on disability? I did. You learn to adapt. But there are times when painful adjustment growth. But it was worth.

With the extra time in my hands, I have learned to "almost perfect" on the Internet. I started a project with no money cartoon, Cartoons London Times that in less than a decade became in the most visited offbeat cartoon on the Internet (and still is). It's rankings continue to grow and by the end of this month we will have 9 million visitors in the past two years. That may not seem like much, but for a cartoon site that is. Most of the cartoons on the internet last 3-6 months and the other gone in a year.

Cartoon opened two mega-stores and six shops niche gift fun gift. Sales are brisk. I have members through my 3drose manufacturer, many of them on Amazon and they sell a lot too.

I think all kinds of products with my designs on them, greeting cards, t-shirts, track suits, mouse pads, mugs, beer mugs, wall clock and desk, baseball caps, and whatever, we do.

All this must be for research on the Internet and make phone calls. Oddly enough, a person with disabilities, and that person is me, can send an e-mail lucid, professional, talking on the phone professional network and create a professional blog and write articles, hopefully professionally. The old network, a it was so involved in the maintenance of a stigma attached to depression and / or disability is out of the picture now. I have no more excuses not to succeed. I dealing with people who want to succeed, and help them succeed.

When a new product I can create cartoons, usually to create jobs at least ten new art, manufacture, drop-shipping, the heat for playing digital media, messaging, etc, and I can all
my house.

Oh, and this person with a disability (ie, me) until the third year of business college online, at an accredited university at age 52. I have 53 now and plan to return next year to finish and go for an MBA.

Once again, on the Internet. Why waste time with people who are more concerned about "labeling" me to put the parameters of my limitations, those who know me as a person and helps me succeed.

I'm not saying that a person with disabilities should be depressed or hiding behind your computer all day, I spend much time interacting with people, handing out business cards, going on talk shows, and doing everything I can to the public.

The labeling is a bad thing. Have you ever noticed that a person with mental illness or physical disability is the only person labeled by their illness or disease? If a person has cancer, do not say "He is cancerous, or if a person have diabetes, I have yet to hear, "There goes the lord high blood sugar!". But if a person has depression, 100% of the time "He / She 's depressed "or" has depression "or" mental illness. "That usually ends the conversation as the stigma remains and many do not want to know more. He is ashamed.

It might do you good to go with some of the famous sites, such as depression
[Http: / / www.geocities.com/coverbridge2k/artsci/famous_people_depression.html] or http://www.angelfire.com/mn2/illstandbyyou/famous.html . It always amazes me to see my name on each page. There are hundreds of them, just google "famous people with depression." My name is there usually with Abraham Lincoln or Elton John.

So you see, depression is considered a disability. But in reading the names of these websites and see who is or was depressed, really makes you wonder, first, why is there a negative connotation associated with the label, and second, why does the label exists.
