It worries me a lot that many people with the illness are out of work. I can understand why. But it still worries me. Because I feel like I can’t take on work.
I don’t really want to live without work. For me, that’s all there is to life. To consume. And you can only consume when you have income. I know it sounds materialistic but I am.
Yeah, I feel like there should be more investment into recovery and cures. But because of consumer mentality, it is shoved aside because the numbers are small compared to non stigmatised illness
Thanks man, I hope you’re able to recover more than however much you have done. Everybody deserves recovery
Yep, we are consumers, i am neither working in production or service. Its difficult doing nothing, but spending money to cope. I am $1500 short for necessities like a mattress,clothes, spectacles. I need money for entertainment.
Does MI means mentally disabled?
I am in Australia and we have a different tax and law system, so i am taking my social security and free medical support for granted.
