    Idk if this is a good place to vent about the following but:

    I was studying for CompTIA A+ and I got to the different types of LCD displays, one of which is VA (Vertical Alignment). VA reminded me to check if I was accepted for Veterans Affairs healthcare coverage (I was denied). and then I tried to start the process of applying for VA disability benefits, since I've been dealing with suicidal ideation, depression, and anxiety for years. And all that did was make me sadder so I gave up studying and crawled into bed with snacks to watch Beau is Afraid for the second time.

    Edit: ADHD-I, btw.

      There are lawyers that specfically help people who are fighting for VA disability benefits. Also the VA has written guidelines of what rates for disability and you need to be able to speak to that. Don't give up and don't let the US Gov not take care of you after they fucked you over.
