I'm a sufferer of general anxiety disorder and social anxiety. I find my commute difficult as it is but am on anti anxiety medication as well as beta blockers to help. This is due to a trauma I went through in 2014 and I am still mending myself.
I'm nearly 20 weeks pregnant and am at a very busy train station currently. Two of my trains have been cancelled which means that I will likely have to stand on the next one. Thing is I have SPD (only mild but it's painful) and really can't bare the idea of standing on a moving train for over an hour.
Can anyone please give me some words of wisdom re asking people to move? Yes, it's easy for some people but having suffered from severe anxiety for the past 4 years, I struggle with these little things.
AIBU to ask for your advice and reassurance that it is ok for me to ask someone for their seat, if they don't in fact have a disability themselves? Of course I understand that some disabilities are invisible and would always take this in to account.
