[bipolar22]

anyone else unable to work due to severe mental illness and feel guilty about it at times? I mean the government raised me, if you wanna call it that, more abused till i was grown to live on my own. Doctors said i cant work like this. Still get this feeling of guilt know others have to work these boring jobs all day just for me to eat and such. idk

I have a gig job, so I have to luxury of working when I feel like it. Those moments are fleeting though.

I can't work because of anxiety and severe dissociation. I can barely think, so I'm useless. I don't really feel guilty because I never asked to be born and forced to work, and it's not my fault I ended up this useless.

Living under this economic system is the only reason that living is as expensive as it is. Every working class person is being exploited by the landlords and capitalists and rent-seekers and vampires of our society, making living expensive. In reality, with all the technological progress we've made, it should be fairly inexpensive to provide those who can't work with dignified living conditions for free. I'm sorry that people like to make you an easy target for ridicule, it is absolutely not your fault that the world is the way it is.

The very concept of "useless" is one built upon that idea that people only exist to be used. This really highlights just how ingrained exploitation is within our societies.
