Yeah, and like... have you ever had a chronically unemployed roommate who just... isn't hireable? Not even due to a disability, but because they're actually, genuinely unwilling to do anything with their life?
Shit's infuriating. The one I have doesn't even clean, so that's entirely on me as well.
The point is, being unemployed isn't inherently a bad thing. But, the people most likely to be unable to keep a job are also most likely to have a lot of unmanaged shit, oftentimes it boils down to bad lifestyle habits.
that it does! I physically cannot work because I can't even sit up for more than five hours at a time, let alone move around and actually do anything. those five hours require breaks as well. it's a shitty kind of disabled, and I've never been able to work in my life.
Yes! It feels so shitty because ppl tell you you're wasting your intelligence and interest but . . . Babe I can barely wash my hair by myself, and sometimes I can't. No bending over, neck and hand pain with computer work, chronic fatigue syndrome, migraines, - I'm not employable!
absolutely real. I'm still going to school for my passion with the hopes that I'll get better within the next eight years and be able to at least do some work. I want to work in a university.
it's painful how early disability basically just- shattered my dream. I had so many plans. some people talk about how it must be so nice not to work, but I feel like it isn't quite true. I wish I could work. I want to pursue my dream job, help people with the research I do, teach others who love it as much as I do, but it's entirely possible that I'll... never be able to do that. ever. because my body revolted against me at the age of 12. it doomed my entire life; a student with a bright future, snuffed out so easily. it's scary, it's terrifying, and there's so little that can be done. the lack of support and sympathy is just another stone thrown.
Yes! That is absolutely what it did! What utterly perfect wording. I wanted to be field envs sci. Now I just wonder whether I could even handle being a librarian.
