Ask Slashdot: Working With Others, As a Schizophrenic Developer?

An anonymous reader writes: "I hope there are a few open source developers on Slashdot who understand this. As a developer who works alone and remotely (while living with my own family) — and is schizophrenic — there would be times I would feel very high (a surge of uncontrollable thoughts), or low because of the kind of failures that some patients with mental illness would have, and because of the emotional difficulty of being physically alone for 8 hours a day. This led me to decide to work physically together with my co-workers. Have you been in this situation before? If you have, how well did you manage it? (Medications are a part of the therapy as well.)"

Further, it's illegal to discriminate against the mentally ill.

It's immoral to discriminate against anyone, but using laws as your thug to support your view only makes you look the part of a true coward.
