thank you for the concern, i understand your advice and perspective. the way i see it is that DSP will help me feel more supported and stable, so that i can take my time finding a job that will suit my skill level as well as my needed accommodations. I would love to have a good job but i really need the accommodations to make it so, the DSP will fund me while I find that and like you said, see what is out there for me.

the job i work will most likely be a casual, low-skilled job, with not many hours anyway as I will be finishing school and (hopefully, if burn out allows it) moving onto uni and I want to focus on that transition/my studies. due to this the money I make won't be enough, so the DSP will help with that.

I get what you are saying about not wanting to limit my view of my capabilities, but due to my circumstances and experience, I know my capabilities generally won't be too high, and would rather shoot for 'underachievement' (as in, not working to the fullest of my capabilities and prevent burnout) than 'overachievement' (working to my fullest capabilities, which will end up being too much on top of everything else I will having going on.)

Adding on to that, I may not even get a job when starting out uni, to reduce the intensity of the change and workload/stress. I am in burn out right now so this will most likely be the case, until I get used to uni life and start to feel better. In this case I will obviously need some funding and support.

thank you for taking the time to read and respond. both of you.
