I have PTSD.
My mask helps with that, it doesn't trigger it. People coughing though, that makes me nervous.
Honestly? A lot of the reasons you give for exemption can be overcome with the right approach and counselling. It is too easy to just hand over an exemption on the grounds of any claimed disability. And I accept that many are invisible. Sometimes though we need to overcome our own limitations in order to protect other people. And funny thing, in my experience, doing that is really hard, but it has unexpected benefits for those who do it.
I am a true fan of Dr Russ Harris. I credit the man with having ideas that may just have saved my life, definitely my sanity. His ACT is well worth a read. And it isn't too new age to swallow. Sometimes we need to do stuff that is very hard.
But it is worth it.
