I'm severely mentally ill (bipolar, borderline personality disorder)and i've tried for years and years and can't hold down a job for more than 3 months. i don't know what to do, it's not a question of not really trying, i am really this inept. i don't want to live on the street.

In Canada, you can get disability for mental illness. I don't know where you live, but there's probably something similar.

Number Two Stunna posted:In Canada, you can get disability for mental illness. I don't know where you live, but there's probably something similar. Yeah, the US has disability, but the OP, depending on age, if they really have had such a patchy job history they're likely eligibile for no/minimal SSD which leaves them with SSI - which is wholly income dependent. So it's entirely possible that OP could be found disabled but not be eligible for any benefits due to other income (spouse, parents, etc.) SSI is also only about $768/mo, which is not enough to live off of in a lot of areas on the country either.....

step one is to stop taking recreational drugs. I don't have a problem with them in general, but if you are having trouble functioning in society, perhaps they are contributing to the problem. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3662699

Join the military, get hosed up somehow, get out early, get disability. Only way. It youre already hosed up, try to get through the SSI/SSDI process somehow. I have asked the same question myself many a time

mazda6- are those conditions you listed actually diagnosed from a doctor? Because if they're legitimate illnesses then you really need to discuss those with a health professional before you can start thinking about staying gainfully employed. If you have unresolved medical issues it won't matter what kind of job you get into because your health condition will just cause you to drop the job, and pick up another casual one, and repeat the cycle like you've been doing already. It'd also be helpful for you to tell us state/city you live in, because then we'd be in a better position to recommend any local agencies that can assist you.

Alternately if you're an attractive 20-something female just find a successful guy and hitch on for the ride. This works if you're male too but is much less common.

Alder posted:Do they offer good health insurance/dental care? Does it require a average or above average level of French? The Legion will cover any medical, dental, vision & funeral costs related to your service, and the French government has a well subsidised public health system that is affordable and accessible. The only French language requirements are that you sign a legal document in French to enlist, which says that you read and understood it. They will only ever talk to you in French, tho, so if you know a bit going in it will help. Anyone who finishes their tour will certainly be fluent.

Sounds interesting, my friend will be curious about this idea now. Thanks for the info. Wait, is there a age/gender restriction in place? BRB. Yes, there are actually a few rules and I won't be able to enlist at the end

The whole point of the foreign legion is to give gently caress ups a chance st a new identity (also not spill French blood protecting colonial interests). That said they are supposed to be quite the hardasses so if you are sadbrains you will probably end up pulling a gomer pyle.

Counter point: many sad brains from first world countries have joined the French Foreign Legion and gone on to do sex on many French women while smoking cigarettes and being moody, like Pete Seeger's dad or Cole Porter

If there is any reference to drug use in the info the ssa obtains, disability (in some states) will be an uphill battle.

Theres also communes (black bear ranch in northern ca is one), religous (christian and buddhist are the most accomodating) centers in the US and around the world, and intentional communities. Depends on how serious you are about not workin for the man. But everywhere requires you put in some effort of some kind. Ive been looking into this stuff for like a decade now, and have followed through with some of it.

Honestly, I've had friends talk about joining the military as an attempt to find their "purpose" in life but personally from my exp they seemed to be the least kind of people who'd listen to someone else even if that person is their boss. Although in the end, who can say?

Alder posted:what if i don't like to follow rules or orders? Why don't you like to follow rules or orders? Unless you are drat good at creating your own thing, youve got to suck that up because society has no place for you. I have a friend who started a successful transportation business at 21 and is a very hard worker but because he didn't like to follow rules and thought he knew best at all times he lost it all. Almost a decade later and he learned to code and is working for a small software developer. He had to have it beaten into him that it can't be you against the world unless you either get very lucky or get very lucky. He wasn't even unlucky, it was just what was going to happen to him. Im the same way but thats a different story. You have to learn to listen and relate to others (and sometimes like their ideas) in order to do anything. Or have a big trust fund I guess.

I said I don't like following rules and not that I refuse to follow *all* rules  Pretty much OK w/average life myself I don't have a goal to become the next batman or anything. These days I'm more interested in Not That Bad Life than Extraordinary Life but that's just me ofc. Reminds me, where did OP go anyways?
