Every time someone asks me this I want to hurl things.

EVERY. DAMN. TIME.

And no, saying “If you don’t mind me asking…” does not make it OK.

Since being put on my new anti-depressant I have had a jump up in insomnia. I am either mildly manic and unable to sleep or I fall into a 13 hour deep sleep that is hard to be woken from. I was given sleep aids but they either don’t help or, they make me pass out for over 13 hours. I’ve tried all sorts of relaxation techniques now I am going to try exercise maybe it will make it so I don’t have the spoons to move and then I will have no choice but to sleep. 

Mine’s not linked to my anti-d’s but good god damn is this accurate.

I know they’re trying to be polite and start a conversation in the usual manner. And while I don’t want to be rude in return, I’m not exactly in peak condition.

I once got fired for telling someone how I really was doing.

yep.  I worry about the opposite and disability.  What if one day I get healthy enough (through therapy and the right combination of meds) to go off disability and get a job like I really really want to?  Then I get kicked off, then I don’t get my meds, then I need it again.  Vicious circle.

I HATE THIS ONE.
