Havnt worked much in my life. I try and fail. I always associate work with great depression. A few weeks inn of any job the wave of depression hits and im unable to keep going. Recently diagnosed as having bipolar and signed up for benefits. Having the little extra money is good but i cannot secure a future of joy with this little money.

Seriously I think thats some horse shit
