I can’t feel bad about getting govt assistance

Because the same Narcissistic sociopathic people who bullied and abused me growing up to get ahead in life, are the ones complaining about how they worked so hard in school and now have their social security dollars go to the poor. Yes I realize how it works now. Yeah there are many exceptions but the two people who were most destructive to me are on the verge of being real successful , ceo/lawyer

Is my logic flawed??

forgive those people and let go. DOn’t feel bad about getting disability. I felt bad about it at first but I realized it was actually a symptom of the illness at that time.

I’ve come to a moment of clarity. Im not ruminating but rather finding a silver lining.

I’ve gained insight into how people treated me rather than blaming myself any longer. Wasn’t pretty.

I forgive one more than the other. But the other I can not forgive ever.

What I realized is many of the people who were abusive toward me were just doing it because they were stupid!!! But no, this girl was smart, she knew exactly what she was doing. She was pure evil.

I got bullied too and I can’t forgive. But I realize now that high school is a period where many people were insecure, including bullies. And the people who bullied me were probably being picked on by someone else or going through some other crap themselves… I don’t forgive, but I understand. And I don’t excuse it but I understand.

I don’t feel guilty about receiving benefits I worked before I got sick so that’s why I am eligible for benefits now. I paid into the system before I got ill so now that I need help I will accept the extra help.

People didn’t have the nerve to bully me after a certain point, what these people did, was way worse.

The only time I could ever remember bullying bothering me that much was when I was 11. But he was just a stupid kid so I forgive that more. Adult Sociopaths, abuse, terror, torture, drugs, all that stuff was a billion times worse to me. People were bad. I wouldn’t call it bullying it was worse.

I don’t feel bad about being on disability. I am on SSDI and was told you have to work ten years to be eligible for that, so i paid into the system all those years i worked.

I got sick at 21. It was bad luck in my case. I don’t care anymore. I shouldn’t feel bad. Some people are disabled and need help.

I also got sick at 21, wtf is wrong with this number ?!?

Regarding disability, sometimes I feel bad about it. Somehow I managed to stay out of hospitals for a full year and convinced my doctor to change my degree from 2nd to 3rd kind, meaning I can work a part time job, but I don’t feel I’m ready for it.

Right now I feel like a dog chasing my own tail…

Is there government assistance for hearing voices ?

Sounds like you are jealous of these people’s success.

This bullying happened years and years ago,

Its time to let it go.

If their success bothers you so much,

Maybe don’t check up on how they’re doing.

I worked 8 years before I got ill. I didn’t just sit around. I can’t do it anymore so I don’t feel guilty about disability.

But it can be boring to live on disability without a job :frowning:

I was bullied too.:slightly_smiling_face:

For being ugly etc

They were not exactly stunners themselves although everyone has their charm…even bullied …

I just do my best but my best does not work.
I know myself.
I might be able to volunteer work a hour a week.
Small n succeed n consistent instead of super productive and fail and end up in hospital for doing more than I was up to such as house keeping course…,.,

Bullying can affect a person very deeply.

Different people can be bullied in different ways and react differently.

There’s bullying with love :two_hearts: so to say but there is a agonising way that really can affect and ruin life for that person in many ways.

Wagging school etc

I believe I could of succeeded as a aged care worker.

If I moved interstate to live with it close to my family there they had contacts and could of set me up with a client…

One client a few hours a day would of suited me well depending on the client etc

Maybe my sister could help me get a client in the future if I am ever well enough to work.

I really wanted to be a care worker and still do.

Maybe in the future.

I think you’re brave.May be if you had a client it would be everyday burden.You can maybe try something which demands less commitment.

People say that “THEY” worked hard and thus deserve their happy wealthy lives.

Meanwhile, we bust our buts just to stay alive and receive damn near nothing in return, and “THEY” complain about some of their money going to us disabled.

I would say, you should have option for government assistance if you so need it, but it doesn’t really have anything to do with people that are successful in there career.
They worked hard for it, mental illness or not.
We do have it harder though, dealing with a mental illness and also trying to make a go at a good career is like having 2 careers, except the one career (mental illness) attempts to drag you down everyday.
