  • I hate this idea that it’s so easy to get disability benefits you can just fake it

    This is 100% what radicalized me. My first job out of college was in Mental Health and I ended up working with several clients on SSI/SSDI or applying for it. Its absolutely inhumane how many hoops they make people jump through. How you still have to use your tiny amount of monthly money to pay for section 8. The exhaustion and depression this brought my clients pained me immensely. I take disability so much more seriously now. I understand how awful chronic pain can be, even if it doesn’t present visibly to others. I genuinely hope you get what you need for your case. We will tear down these systems one day, but until then I sincerely hope things are manageable for you
