Hate having to hide my decease - multiple sclerosis

Damn i hate it.

Ok - so, no one is actually making me hide it.. but its just not the thing you really want to talk about still.

Hey boss. I am actually very sick, and tomorrow i could wake up being unable to do all the work, will you continue to put lots of energy and money into my training?

Ofc, i would then wish for a boss who is okay with that. Anyone could have something happen or simply just leave for other company.
But for sure, some would not like either.

And i am afraid of people viewing me as sick. Having special needs or other.
Maybe i also would begin to excuse myself with just being sick too easily.. so i cant do X or Y task so good, etc.
But ofc.. it would be good also to be seen, and that i actually dont want too much stress. Stress will accelerate my decease.
And it could be just so good to talk about it, and share.

Same thing almost goes for online dating. Thought it can be little different.
Sometimes i wait telling about it, get to know eachother first, do they really need to know everything in advance?
In a bar people dont have signs saying what decease they got, or say it as the first thing.

On the other side, it could be good to tell in advance, filter away those who anyway would get scared away later... maybe.. maybe..

I think u'd do well in a support group where ppl discuss similar experiences and help.

If I met ypu in real life and we became friends:

Me: so what do you do for a living?
You: I don't work. I have MS.
Me: Oh. That sucks. Ever need help, let me know. Wanna go get coffee?
