> Is anyone here not on disability? It's pretty bad that tax dollars are swallowed up by reasonably healthy people that cannot work because they are "sick". I work my *ss off everyday to support you and sometimes I get irritated by the irresponsible adults that I see.
Hello Olivia,
A few questions for you:
- How much do you know of the situations of the individuals on this forum? From the wording on your post, I gather you believe that most people here are on disability. Where did you get this impression??
- How would you go about deciding who is and who is not deserving of disability? Do you believe you can make that decision without extensive knowledge of an individual's medical history and everyday level of impairment?
- Do you believe that mental illnesses cannot be truly debilitating?
- Where exactly do you encounter the irresponsible adults that you mention? Are you referring to individuals that you know in real life?
- Have you had some negative experiences IRL that are coloring your impressions of people on this forum?
You do sound terribly angry. If you are feeling overwhelmed in your own life, is there somewhere you can access some resources to help you cope?
Good luck.
