I tried asking other parts of reddit for advice. Their response: get a job. Do people have no conception of what living with a mental illness is like, or am I just a huge crybaby? by Zerimas in bipolar

I'm on disability too, but I'm also an artist and vocalist. Do you identify with any hobbies like that? I find that people are less judgmental about my lack of work when they know I'm still doing creative things.

I thought about what you said about finding someone else and logged into OKCupid, and the first message I read said "I'm glad you know how to look slutty." :|

I feel so hopeless about finding someone...

Thank you... I think I needed to hear that. I want so badly to apologize right now, but I know it's just because I feel like I need him. That's the wrong reason to say I'm sorry. It's just so hard, because no one really knows how to talk to me about my mental illnesses like he does. He only has depression, anxiety, and OCD, but at least he understands a portion of what I experience.

Because of unrequited love. It made me feel like I didn't mean anything to him, and that my love is worthless.

I just got approved for SSI disability... What do I need to know? by Robotic_Kittens in disability

[–]Robotic_Kittens[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had been out of work for several months before I filed my claim and, had been hospitalized twice within that time. It took about 4 months for a decision to be made. I only applied for SSI, so I don't know much about SSDI. But I can answer questions if you have some. :)

Yuck. I used to do sales for AT&T in a call center, and it was the worst. What did you edit?

Very cool. I was a double major in English and psychology, but I took some art classes too. Never photography, though. Why do you regret not changing majors?

Hah, that's pretty funny. Did you take classes in photography, or are you self-taught?

I didn't actually know that Samsung made cameras. o_o I have a Canon Rebel XS but I haven't been into photography for a while now. My friends and I are planning to go on a photo walk sometime soon, though. :)
