I'm happy you guys posted. I do not want to offend anyone. I would like to understand this better.
I am one of those people that judge people on disability. I feel bad because I do. When someone tells me that, then tells me their diagnosis (people tell me this voluntarily, I do not pry, I'm just easy to talk to) my first thought is "are you serious?" I immediately tell myself not to judge because I have no clue what they are going through, but I still do. I'm bi 1, OCD. My lows are LOW. I have hallucinations, hear things and bouts of psychosis. If I'm on the wrong meds or they aren't working right. I myself can not handle stress. Can not function in certain environments and can lose touch with reality. I still work. My bio dad is schizophrenic and can't hold a job well, but then works for temp jobs. He refuses to sit at home. He does not take meds, that I'm aware of. I really want to understand better. I know I have no clue of your guys support, home environment, etc so I have no right to call anyone lazy. And actually I never think people on disability are lazy, I just feel They are throwing in the towel and taking the easy way out.
I truly do not want to offend anyone I want to be more empathetic and understanding of this illness and how it can be so dibilitating to some.
