I don't mean to stray too far off the topic, but what bothers me is, do I have to disclose to an employer what my disability is? That really scares me because I am in a small town and people consider gossip to be the #1 sport around here. I am applying for social security disability to at least have the finances to go back to college to learn something new - like a culinary institute - so I can go an entirely different direction with work. But I am already worried about telling someone about my problem that isn't evident to casual observation.
