i have chronic pain and mental illnesses/developmental disabilities. i told my therapist recently that i felt bad about not being self sufficient because of not being able to work. i said i felt erased by the nature of my disabilities, that no one would ask me to walk if i couldnt use my legs.
apparently, they would? because he told me i need to “learn to walk”. i told him i dont understand, and he doubled down. he said i should just, get better. and didnt even tell me how i should try to do this. refused to explain even when i asked.
i have already been denied disability before. but i can't work! and my therapist wont listen, and actively insists that i'm fine and should just become able.
i dont know what to do. i dont have familial support. and i can't be supported entirely by my partner. things just feel impossible.
