I'm sorry you feel that way and are going through that. Weird necro of a month old thread?

If you want some brief backstory, I'll provide some context: I struggle every day with Chronic pain, Tourette's Syndrome, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder, and clinical depression. Despite all that I hall my miserable arse out of bed 40-50 hours a week with a half-working brain that is basically on fire, and somehow write accounting software. I don't make great money. I live alone. For the "privilege" of living alone and working full-time with disabilities I am punished with the highest tax burden and the lowest help from, well, anybody. I'm actually pretty accepting of my lot in life.

I have friends, acquaintances and people I know through various places that also have disabilities but either don't work at all because they've never tried or they used to work and had to drop out of the workforce. In a lot of cases that's just the hand fate dealt them, and again, fair enough. I'd rather see those people supported.

But the particular day I made this rant I remember now... I'd listen to half an hour of someone bitching about how hard it was having to lodge their forms with our equivalent of a social security office. I'm sorry, but complaining about having to spend 30 minutes lodging forms and/or answer questions for free money just triggers me after I've had another long shitty day in an office controlling my blinking and not jumping off a bridge.
