Falls,
I think you are forgetting to add into the equation "can" vs. "want to". If you can't work, due to a disability, that is acceptable. If you "just" don't want to...want someone to take are of you forever and ever...and are willing to do anything to get that to happen....that would be unacceptable. Do you see the difference?
We offer compassion and supports to people who can't work, who can't care for themselves and who have disabilities. That is why we have SSDI for example.
So if you believe that working will make you crash, than you can't work right now. And just because you can't right now doesn't mean you can't forever. But just because you can't right now doesn't mean you HAVE TO at some point in the future, either.
Please show yourself the same compassion I've seen you show hundreds of time here.
(((Falls))) I know this is very hard.
