People are such assholes to me, just got screamed at because this guy's card declined. I felt bad for him, but he was just screaming and being a giant asshole. It's so loud I can't make any sounds out over the constant beeps of timers, and I'm always startled by the shit.

I really hope I can get on disability

      I'm not really sure. The doctors really like me and see how psychosis has eaten at me over the past few years. I've had a lot of people here advocate for me at important times. Schizophrenia is a much easier sell for disability, and I'm guessing that's why they're offering

        Wait, they're offering you disability benefits?

        If so, maybe you should take it!

          They're getting me applied yeah, they think I have a pretty good case to get it. But that's really up to the state.

              In the US, you don't have to pay disability lawyers upfront. They get paid a percentage of any back pay they get you. It's usually the smart move unless you have some undeniable physical disability. They know the right words to use to make sure you qualify.

              For me it really worked out because my lawyer argued I was disabled much farther back than I thought I could. I ended up with much more back pay even though he got 30% of it.

      My dad's leg CAME THE FUCK OFF in a motorcycle accident and they reattached it and he went back to work for twenty more years before his disability got approved.

      Good luck! I mean that sincerely
