"Freeloader" It's not like I haven't tried, I've worked several jobs over the years trying to make a living, but i can't hold them, either the pain or the depression keeps me from doing what's asked of me and I'm eventually terminated.
The pain from fibromyalgia can cripple me, unable to get out of bed or even have difficulty doing common things like putting on pants or taking a bath. Then people claim i'm just lazy, making me depressed that noone will believe me. Dispite all the issues I've listed on my disability claim they targeted the ONE probably least severe to focus on.
When I saw the provided doctor and she told me none of the other conditions mattered because they weren't part of what the disability forms had covered. She asked me to take 5 steps, moved my leg around a bit then left, I had to wait for a nurse a couple hours later to tell me that I could even leave. 4 months later I get the denial letter, I was never asked about my Fibromyalgia, never asked about my anxity and panic attacks, never asked about my depression... completely souless, i felt like a number more than a person to them.
Also it's not like I do nothing and take advantage of anyone. I still try to do things around the house when my pain subsides since I can't work, doing the dishes, laundry, general cleaning... stuff that I can take my time to do throughout the day. God knows my brother has never lifted a finger to help with cleaning, I swear the house would be r/WTF material if it was left to him.
