I’m really confused why we’re calling seeing ghosts/spirits a disability? Quote for context:

”You’re talking about his fear like he has control over it. But ghosts appearing from him might as well be like a seizure disorder or something. A stimulus causes a reaction that has really negative effects on him. It’s something so unpredictable that he’s constantly afraid of it, even when it’s not. So there’s the terror of when he does encounter a ghost, but the other three quarters come from your brother being stone-cold-terrified to leave his fucking house most days, because he might encounter them. It’s a disability.”

Like, hey? No, it’s not? I understand the description of constant fear, but the comparison to the fear that disabled people can feel about their body/brain actively working against them doesn’t make sense to me. If you’re seeing ghosts, that are actually there then that’s not the same thing. Yes, you’re reacting to stimuli, but it’s stimuli that’s THERE—not something your body/brain produced. Maybe you’re traumatized, I get that. That does sound frightening. But you don’t have a disability. Now, if we want to get into an actual discussion about C-PTSD or GAD, sure let’s discuss. But to just throw out that seeing ghosts is a disability, while comparing it to an actual disability people have, and then also saying nothing remotely productive or useful feels in such poor taste to me.
