James says:
*i need me some disability
·!¦[· тяιскѕтєя ·]¦!· TIME TO MAKE MONEY. says:
*you can only get disability IF YOU'RE DISABLED
*being lazy isn't disability
James says:
*yea so why do you get it
·!¦[· тяιскѕтєя ·]¦!· TIME TO MAKE MONEY. says:
*you also need a psychiatrist to testify that you can't work
*and you won't even go see one
*you've been working since whenever
*you can't just stop and be like
*OH I HAVE SOCIAL ANXIETY
*I CAN'T WORK
*when you clearly can
James says:
*you could work too
*but you never have
·!¦[· тяιскѕтєя ·]¦!· TIME TO MAKE MONEY. says:
*disability is not designed to allow people to sit around
*and collect checks
*once you get on disability it's basically a contract saying that you swear to try your hardest to get off disability and become rehabilitated
*yes i have
James says:
*THATS WHAT YOU DO
·!¦[· тяιскѕтєя ·]¦!· TIME TO MAKE MONEY. says:
*and no i can't
*you don't know anything about me or my history or my life
*don't sit here and pretend you know anything
*you know mild things about my friends, my boyfriends
*a bit about my sex life
*you know nothing about me
James says:
*just seems that i have worse social anxiety than you
*the only difference is i was literally forced to work by my parents
·!¦[· тяιскѕтєя ·]¦!· TIME TO MAKE MONEY. says:
*i don't even have social anxiety
James says:
*what do you have then that gets you disability
·!¦[· тяιскѕтєя ·]¦!· TIME TO MAKE MONEY. says:
*GAD
James says:
*whats that
·!¦[· тяιскѕтєя ·]¦!· TIME TO MAKE MONEY. says:
*wiki it or something
*generalized anxiety disorder
James says:
*doesnt prevent you from having a boyfriend or rl friends or going to parties or anything else besides getting a job?
*seems strange
·!¦[· тяιскѕтєя ·]¦!· TIME TO MAKE MONEY. says:
*it did once
*and it has nothing to do with getting a job
*like what
*are you going to sit here and say that you know about me when 20 seconds ago you didn't even know what i had
*don't you think if there was nothing wrong with me that i would have no doctors, that i wouldn't be able to get onto disability?
*don't you think out of all of the programs i've been in and all the doctors i've seen for medication and treatment
*SOMEONE would have noticed that i was just lazy, and didn't actually have anxiety?
James says:
*just seems odd
*you do all kinds of things
·!¦[· тяιскѕтєя ·]¦!· TIME TO MAKE MONEY. says:
*you're exactly the kind of person that prevents me from being able to explain anything to anyone
*the reason why mental illness is so looked down upon and judged and called a lie
James says:
*things that i dont even consider doing because im afraid
·!¦[· тяιскѕтєя ·]¦!· TIME TO MAKE MONEY. says:
*why would i worry about having friends, boyfriends
*they don't affect my future
*nothing they can do can possibly make me a failure in life
James says:
*it takes me like 20 minutes to work up the courage to go to the store to buy soda
·!¦[· тяιскѕтєя ·]¦!· TIME TO MAKE MONEY. says:
*nothing they can say or do can make me poor
*or stupid
*or ugly
*or fail in school
*or not get into university
*or not have the job i've always wanted
*i used to have social anxiety before i realized all of that
*that nothing they can do can hurt me
*some things i still can't do
*like make phone calls, leave messages
*take buses
*but i'm working on it
*because i don't want to be like this forever
*and because i know in my head that the fear is completely irrational
*and that realistically someone at the store isn't going to judge me and think i'm a loser and a piece of shit just because i'm ______ or _______
*our anxiety is different and just because you don't understand mine
*doesn't mean it doesn't exist
*just because i do what you don't do or can't imagine doing, or vice versa
*doesn't mean that it isn't there
*it's just different, we have different fears that present in different ways
*and as someone with anxiety and who has suffered with anxiety her whole life, in some cases mild, others severe
*i would never sit there and tell you that your anxiety was less than mine
*just because i didn't understand it or never experienced it
*people like you who judge and point fingers and try to say that it doesn't exist because you don't understand it
*are exactly the reason why mental illness is such a stigma
*and why most people will NEVER understand
*the things we go through on a daily basis.
I don't think I should have to explain why this bothered me so much.
