Shit like this is what pisses me off the most about stephy. She isn't physically disabled, if she is, then it's her fault for being a fatso with muscle mass in the negative hundreds because of her shitty diet and lack of any real physical activity.
I know a kid that I went to high school with who had cerebral palsy and was wheelchair bound at one point but that didn't stop him from being one of the best wrestlers at the school nor stopped him from winning a power lifting competition once. If that kid can do that shit without blaming it on the able-bodied, then steph infection has no fucking excuse to get off her ass and do something for herself for once.
Oh, but you're forgetting, she has PTSD, too...
I have C-PTSD, diagnosed by a legitimate medical professional, and it can effect my work performance, if I let it. But it does NOT excuse me from the responsibilities in my life. If I find myself in a situation where those panic-y feelings start to bubble up, I acknowledge them, breathe through it & deal with it in an appropriate way. Even if it's hiding in the bathroom for a few minutes to pull myself together. It is not an excuse for me to freak out or melt down. Part of dealing with any form of trauma is putting yourself in situations that may trigger it, so you realize you can make your way through those anxious/panic-y situations and come out the other side okay. It may not be perfect, but you make it out, you haven't died and your life isn't over. Using PTSD as an excuse for why she can't get a desk job or even a call center job is ridiculous. She just doesn't want to have anyone else tell her what to do and give her constructive criticism when she needs it or when she screws up.
I realize I've done a complete 180 since I entered this thread. Whoops.
