I hate money. But the price to pay to be free from money id lose my sanity. I got paid today and I still feel really broke. If I separated myself from the idea of money I’d lose my health too because health costs money.
In USA we can get disability or ssi if we’re really bad off and unable to work for a long time. There’s less incentive to go back to work as you’ll get half of your paycheck deducted from benefits.
The main incentive for me going back to work is that I can’t shake a sense of guilt for being on benefits. I know, the government has these grants that are given to the mentally ill. It’s more people around me who get indignant if they know I don’t work, which prompts me to feel ashamed. Also, I don’t ‘feel’ mentally ill most of the time I’m on meds.
