Thank you for sharing. So many good points. I can’t imagine not being swayed by this personal experience. I’m so sorry for what you’ve been through, what you’re going through. I can relate to much of your experience, if not long Covid (chronic pain, moving home, etc.) And the disability services sound like an absolute nightmare. I never thought anyone was scamming the system but you make a great case for how and why it would be ridiculous to think many people are doing so. Keep going, keep inspiring!
Thank you so much for this comment and your support. It really means a lot to me. I’m so sorry for what you’ve been through, too. And I truly appreciate your kind words and encouragement 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Well said, Krista! I couldn’t agree more. And you are a rock star, no matter how exhausted! We really are supposed to rest, take care of ourselves and others, and be cared for because we exist. Not because we deserve it for any reason like working. Because we are here. Keep resting, laughing, and being you! Xx
Beautifully written. Took me 3 years to get approved for SSDI, and it’s almost comical (if it wasn’t so crushing) how little we get. It’s not enough to survive off, and they know it. I also had to move back in with my parents, and sometimes feels like I’ll never have my own space. Grateful to read from other disabled writers and know I’m not alone in this experience.

I’m really thankful for this comment. It makes me feel much less alone. Thank you. I’m so sorry for all you’ve been through though. Much love to you
Same here, hate that you’ve been through so much too, but grateful we’re not alone in it!
