NEET since 2018, due to my abysmal physical and mental "health", but for years before that, it wasn't at all uncommon for me to have to take a leave of absence from whatever job I had at the time, until I had almost no money left and was forced to go back to work... rinse and repeat. I shouldn't have been working and it's one of the main reasons as to why my condition is as bad as it is now. I was devastated when I completely had to stop working and studying in 2018, regardless of whether or not I got approved for disability, or had enough money to keep a roof over my head while living in low-income housing.
Despite being in such a bad way, I gave employment one last shot in 2019, but collapsed after a 4-hour shift on day 1, so I don't even count that.
I'm completely housebound and largely bedbound. It's difficult enough for me to do things that are required for my own basic survival, like make myself something to eat, never mind hold a job or finish my degree.
