Vaping is $60 a month and insurance is $50. Gas is another $60. Weekly that’d be around $65.

ive been on depots. no one came for me if i missed it. only if u are court ordered. which rarely happens cause they have to take u to court to order meds and they only do that if u have commited a crime most the time

oh yeah, i guess we get similar amounts then
The benefits are generous in Belgium compared to other countries, but you still are at the lower end of the income scale. There is social housing but the waitlists are very long. The good thing is there are plenty of pdocs and you can choose them yourself. I’ve changed twice when I wasn’t happy.
There are also group homes, psychiatric care homes (my uncle is in one), which are subsidized by the Government.
They encourage you to work part-time but that is not always possible.
You need permission to work, volunteer, study or to travel abroad. It’s a bit of a controlling system but usually they approve.
I hope that gives you some insight.

Since Covid the services in my part of England have got even worse
Almost impossible for people to access services
Very long wait times
Our government does not help by underfunding it
As far as I am concerned they brought in the care in the community
They have saved so much money not having to write us all off and lock us up
Almost feels like there is an unwritten rule to me that if they deny inpatient care to all but the most acute then the community services need to be funded and staffed appropriately
