I currently work in a warehouse, a job I've gotten through the government. Due to my history I can barely work 9 hours a week, I was placed in a mental institution age 14-18. I'm now 20 and have about 840 USD to live on. I don't buy clothes, games, I dont go out to restaurants, I can't visit my family, I can't buy gifts for people, I don't eat varied food, I can only afford one of the 3 kinds of medicine I'm prescribed. I've worked unpaid for god knows how many places since I was 15. Always gotten the promise of “maybe we'll hire you one day” but they never did. Hopefully this one will lead to paid work, I hate myself for having to borrow money from friends, I've considered prostitution but that's no longer an option as I have a girlfriend. Now I'm getting schizophrenic symptoms and it's even harder to work.
I don't know what to do anymore, the world at large seems to be ending. The device between lower and middle class keeps growing.
