I'm on disability (Canada), and I have a hard time holding onto work at all, or even doing much in-general. I hate the thought of work, and always thought I was the crazy one because of this.
I have a YouTube channel, and am making tons of music, have a mental health show that I'm working on, and am in the middle of writing an episodic radio show that is inspired by Welcome To Night Vale.
None of this pays. It's really expensive here. I'm relying on family for my groceries, but they don't have much either. Working is really an issue for me, and not because I hate it, but also my symptoms.
I need to make money. Not because I want to live a glamorous life, no. I just can't survive without.
Disability is supposed to dramatically increase, but they mentioned that in 2020, and I'm still in the dark about what it actually entails.
I could be in a worse situation by a long shot. I'm grateful for what I have, but this isn't sustainable.
Thanks.
