I'm living off my parents, which involves a lot less bureaucracy than disability, but probably about the same amount of guilt.
I'm looking for a job right now, I'm probably going back to school to get into health care, but I know how you feel about being "one of them--the professional mental patients." When I'm in the waiting room for my (public health) shrink, I sometimes see people with relatively mild TD. I hear people talking about how their antidepressants (note the plural) aren't working. And I think...is this what I have become?
It gets better, or so I'm told. If you can't find a job, can you volunteer? That might be a good use of your time, and if you do it long enough you could use it on as experience when applying for jobs. Just a thought.
Good luck!
