You don't know what the future brings. And I really don't know if you do work and just don't consider yourself high functioning Or what and it's not my business but I do feel bad for you all the same.
I don't get upset with the people that are on disability and genuinely need the assistance. I also don't care if you're not working because you can afford it. I get upset with those who go on stability because they genuinely need it and then continue on disability because they can not because they need it. And health professionals know this. So as a result many have become judgmental. I feel like I'm being judged rather than heard/helped by health professionals.

No offense taken at all. I'm an attorney. I have various diagnoses which I don't need to reiterate here. You're correct I cannot predict the future. I do know myself, how things have changed, and I have the guidance of an excellent treatment team that continues to advise me. I have physical and mental disabilities.
I am a single mom and live with my stepdad because I cannot afford housing. I know 110% about how my conditions affect me and that includes the future. You do sound judgemental but that is ok, although I'm sorry your experience is negative. I apparently am a launching point for your discussion, and that is ok, too. Take care.
