I am diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and have a history of panic attacks. I want to apply for lsat accommodations for extended time based on this. My psychiatrist is on board to provide needed documentation . Any advice on getting accommodations from those who have done it? Any feedback is appreciated!!!

I’ve been listening to the thinking LSAT podcast for just a few weeks and, in the segment where you read a personal statement, I’ve noticed that you seem to stop reading whenever someone mentions something negative and you advise against doing that. I understand that you don’t have to “shit on your past” in order to get where you want to be in your future, but why isn’t it OK to mention issues you’ve noticed in life and in the world and maybe how that inspired you to want to get into a field where you can have a chance to make a difference and to advocate for people facing those issues? real life is not always happy and my first instinct is to be as authentic as possible in a personal statement because I feel like it would be easy or tempting to be super fake and try to represent themselves as something they’re not just to get in and just to appear a certain way. So, is this advice about making personal statements happy and positive something you should always stick to and can someone explain to me why this is a good idea? I just don’t get it. Thanks for reading this if u got to the end!!!
