A personality disorder is also something which usually lasts your entire lifetime. We need to work around our disabilities, whether its being in a wheelchair, deaf or bad hearing, insomnia, anxiety, or something else. There's various ways to do that, for example learning more about your disorder from credible sources, cognitive therapy, drugs/medicine, or an aid/device such as a hearing aid, or good ol' helping each other out.
Example of the latter: a friend of my wife is autistic (proper diagnosis, in fact they met during post-diagnosis support group), too, and he can work (he has own company), but he is unable to clean his house. Its too much chaos for him. So my wife does it for the time being, as his housemaid couldn't deal with him, and recently quit. And soon, my wife is getting paid for that work. Because of that, we'll both officially work, and we get free morning daycare for our toddler instead of having to shell out 200 EUR/month. Its a win-win-win.
