people will always be prejudiced against those with invisible disabilities and it sucks but it's reality. i would say to try your best to fight for it and get medical papers stating your diagnosis. i can't help on the transportation part, i just wish you all the best. i know you'll be able to get the hang of it soon. don't be too afraid to ask for help when it comes to "is this the right stop" and whatnot. take care!!
