People that don't work or are unable to, how do you support yourself

[kfad95]

Hey guys, I'm pretty close to being unable to work and my condition is from antidepressants and isn't easily recognised by doctors so hard to get disability in my country.

This is me when I left my parents' house. I am a beast at saving money, so I could sustain myself for a while. I also used to enter their house when they were out and steal food :P not the most honorable means, but you roll what you have.

If you can't get disability, would you qualify for other benefits? Like in the UK there's one for low income households and another for struggling in day to day life.

Yeah I'm in nz and can get jobseeker which would be equivalent to 140 pound or so a week. Just they make you actively seek for work is the only downside when not healthy

Live with a parent, but they don't really make enough so if I don't work at all it's pretty miserable. Keep trying to work, but I keep ending up burnt out and worse off than when i started.
