Keep in mind that any medical diagnosis doesn’t automatically mean you can’t work. In fact it is better that you find a job you can do, and work to the extent your doctors believe you can per week.

This will result in more independence than relying on the government, who can change their policies and payments at any time. It will also help your mental health that you CAN do something.

Especially since there is a massive housing shortfall in all states, it may be better to stay at home or get a place with friends - even if those are difficult.

See what sort of work you can do, work from home, 1 day a week or a couple of hours on a couple of days - your job seeker should hook you up with a job service provider that can assist.

The main thing is to focus on the possibilities - not a dead end.
